Turbo question (please dont laugh) I asked if a Power stroke or Cummins 1 ton truck turbo could be used for my LS1 and a few guys said that it would be too small. One guy mentioned that it would be too small and he had actually used the turbo off a school bus, well I went to a salvage yard and found one on an older indernationa school bus. It has the DT466 engine and a Garrett/ Air research TO4. Is that the proper size, some other #'s on the ID tag were BBM060 991523091. Can anyone get me pointing in the right direction? Thanks
