this week on trucks on spike they showed a universial turbo kit
they mounted it under the bed with pipes going up to the engine bay
anyone do this and is there a diference between a diesel and gas turbo?
thanks for any help

you can do it on a diesel but you will have such a insane turbo lag you will hate it

WANTS A 2008 ford F-250 XLT with a 6.4L and a zf-6
would it be better if it was under the cab?
and would auniversal kit work on a diesel? or are they just gas?
I do not have room under hood for the turbo and downpipe btwn firewall and block for stock setup

The turbocharger needs to be sized correctly to the engine. The basic variables are engine displacement, engine operating RPM, and desired level of boost. The gas engines are mostly around 5.7-6.0 liter, and make peak power around 5000 rpm. These diesels are 6.9 or 7.3 and make most of their power around 2500-3000rpm. The turbo setups for gas engines are going to expect a little more exhaust gas volume because of the higher RPM, meaning if you used one on a diesel you'd probably have a low boost level or maybe even cause a restriction to airflow instead of improving it.
Putting the turbo under the bed would cause a bit more lag, but when steady pulling it shouldn't be a major problem. All you have to do is lean into the throttle 500-1000 feet before you get to the bottom of a hill so you have boost to climb it.
