Sounds like a huge turbo. Probably capable of around 350hp+. Im sure you can use any turbo to make compounds, it just depends on how much lag you want from something that big. Do you have any performance injectors? Once that thing lights it should take off pretty good.

no injectors yet the stock ones flow quite a bit of fuel though but with fuel $ everything is on the low side for settings, first i have to finish the intercooler install and get my gds upgrade, then i might put on that monster.

You should ask questions before you buy.
