Can agricultural turbochargers be used in an automotive application?
I'm asking because I see numerous turbos of various size and shape every day at work. (Some are BIG fuckers) Just made me wonder if we could use them or if they arent made to run up to max turbine speed. Maybe just continuous low speed operation?

Most have huge A/R ratios on the exhaust (turbine) side. These would require 550 cubic inches or 10,000 RPM to get them moving. I see them all day too, most are stamped 1.34 or greater on the turbine. The wheels on most of the DD Garretts I see here are between 80mm and 90mm which some of the guys are using on the real high horsepower stuff, but they change the exhaust housings to .91s or so and they actually see boost before 8000 rpm.

Apparently, as the rolling eyes imply, firetruck is a turbo expert??
