DIY?
I work in a shop with dump trucks. So the other day i was told that we have a few trucks about to get scrapped and we can have w/e we take off them. So could i use a turbo form one of the trucks? Also any tips or hint on how to do it will help.

Grab some of them and post up their specs. You could always sell them to the powerstroke guys, then use the money to buy the correct size turbo for your engine...

I don't know how the company will feel about you pulling & selling them on your own.

What are the truck models and engine models?
