Looks like you can hold down alot of paper with it or hold open a big door.

I like making turbine engines out of old turbos. You have to run a combustion can between the compressor discharge and the turbine inlet. Then you connect a propane tank with regulator to the can. Get it spinning with some compressed air give it some propane and then ignite it. Try to spin it to death its fun to watch. It'll get spinning really fast rather quickly just make sure you keep positve control over the amount of propane being added. Also for safety, keep a fire extinguisher handy, face shield, and a good solid barrier between you and the turbo at ALL TIMES!!!!!

I bet I got your tinker gears turnin' good huh?

Oh and I almost forgot to mention, it's louder than **** so get some ear protection too.

Since nobody has answered the question yet......here you go.

1825878c91

Is off a 7.3 powerstroke. That part # should have also come with a pedistal....since the 7.3's use a funky mounting flange. Comp wheel is 80.0mm exd 59.9ind and trim is a 56. Turbine is 76mm/67mm.
