they will work fine..if its the one i am thinking of you could probally use just one and be sufficient. thing about diesels is that there exhaust housings a/r is usually huge compared to gas motor ones.gotta remember diesels dont have throttle blades so they move alot of air.

Your not taking into account most diesels also only spin 3k and not 6k rpms.

Most diesel turbos thrown on a gas engine are usually SMALL. All these s400's that people are using are using on semi's (secondary turbo on a cat TT).... 12 something liter diesels.

The 6.5 turbo is a super small IHI turbo. You have to remember the 6.5 motor is a turd and needed a small turbo unlike the newer diesel trucks.
