They decent sized. I'm really not sure what it takes to get the Variable geometry turbine system to work on a different truck either.

That may be a tall order. Like stated above, they are a variable geometry turbo, as well as being electronically controlled and water-cooled.

That BOMB is pretty tough to build...

even though the compressor & turbine are very similiar to the HE351W we're so familiar with from the 5.9L CR, and the relatively large (~20cm) exhaust housing closes down to less than 10cm for good spool-up and lower high-RPM drive pressure - the VGT actuator would need a stand-alone computer with a driver circuit capable of controlling the 3-phase brushless DC motor.

The water cooling plumbing is easy enough to install.

I'd advise your Dad to use the existing turbo as the secondary in a twinset - that way he keeps all of it's electronic advantages (such as exhaust braking & WG control) while adding CFM capacity for plenty of extra fuel... besides, primary air is cheaper!
