Cool, only need slight re working of my turbo pipes so I can use that as a bottom one. Probably need to trim the firewall so I can fit a five FOOT downpipe!!

They'd probably be a little laggy on the 5.9, but I'm sure they'd be lit by about 1,232,896 RPM...

no no no, they are designed to be remote mounted in the bed. it will not work with a megacab. they are true twin turbos, the one on the right is plumbed into cylinders 1,3, and 5, the one on the left goes to 2,4,and 6.

I have seen air pumps that look like turbos before. They might just be for pumping air and not for an internal combustion engine at all.

Seen those before on many Oil and Gas sites..

Caterpillar G3616 engines. Those turbos don't have very good reliability either. Most companys have to change them out every 10 - 15,000 hours in good or bad service. Realy, most times the boost is less than about 15 psi max. I am not sure about the Diesel units, they may run into the 30's.

Engines are rated for around 4500 Hp at 900 Rpm... Thats a measely 26,250 Ft-lbs.. I think SBC makes a unit for that? Dual disk for sure...

I can't seem to figure it out.. They could be the size of a coffee can for all I can tell.

While they obviously look big, good photography can make anything look way bigger than it is.
Look at the blurr at the bottom edge of the PIC, thats the top of a guys head walking by. I'd vote 3600 series Caterpillar too.


They're definately painted Caterpillar yellow....

Look at the plate it is mounted on. That looks to be 1in plate.
