Probably off a powerstroke diesel. Not that good, but not the worst. Spins backwards of the "normal" stuff too.
If you're looking for 750-800hp... you're going to have some money in the car, no doubt. So don't be cheap on the turbo, fuel-system, or tune.

 

so what do you mean by spinning backwards?what will it take to make it work?if any.the motor is no problem as far as getting good parts.what kind of power is this thing capable of?

 

Doesn't actually matter. The compressor housing will exit in a different direction than a standard rotation turbo and same with the entrance to the turbine inlet. Just a side note. If you do need/want to upgrade the turbo later you'll be chopping the shit out of your hot/coldside most likely. Otherwise still makes same hp as any other turbo. Oh and upgrade parts like compressors and turbine wheels are prob non existent. Thats just a guess.
