If my turbo knowledge is on par TV chassis turbos are absolutely massive. They come off of diesel engines. I'm guessing the reason you are looking at it is because it is cheap. Turbos are not something you want to go cheap on. That is the main power source for your engine. If you're trying to budget a turbo setup don't waste your time trying to rig something together it'll only cause you headaches in the future.

TV4502 was only a 66mm turbo.....big in size though. And no it wouldn't work on a 408. Choke like a rock.

Mine blew up June 3rd, 2007 and hasn't run since. Set a budget. With that budget in mind make a plan and stick to it. Otherwise you'll keep changing your mind and never finish.

Edit... There's a guy in the classified section selling an st80 with the race cover for $1000. That'd do pretty well on a 408.
