not saying that isn't correct.....but I have heard that when you find a turbo for diesel you are looking for one off of a gas engine quite a bit smaller. As the gasser has more flow.

for example on a 3.4L 3B we look for a turbo off of a 2.0-2.5L gasser.

Does this jive? Everything I have read has lead to this. And when I worked calculations with the turbo shop it was semi confrimed. Semi........
