Default diesel turbo?

Is there a diesel turbo that youcan use on a 6.0l. One that will make 15psi and last a long time. I have diesel turbo's all around me. Just wondering. Thanks for any input good or bad,JC

Check out the turbo mustang forums. There is a huge list of turbos that can be used.

The thing with most diesel turbos is they're compressor maps are pretty short, and meant to be run up around 40psi and 3500rpm. You running them at 15psi is going to make it damn inefficient.

They're maps are only like 50lb/min. You can make it blow it's brains out and be inefficient as hell, I'm not saying it won't work, it just won't be the most efficient.
