maybe look in to twin turbos. but for a sindle turbo i would contact cummins performnce parts or diesel auto power. but i would think you would need at least a 64/71/14 or bigger

For that much fuel I would think he would need at least a 62 coupled with an S475 in a compound setup. You could do a big single, but a set of twins will yield quicker spool up and/or lower drive pressures.

650 on fuel is a good number for a single turboed 12v its gonna take some tuning can't just throw a ton of fuel at it
