I know quite a few people do it. I wish I knew a specific example so I could lead you their way, but I do not. What size S300 is it? I know the 62/65/12 has been run with those mods. You may need to look into a low pressure piston lift pump though. You can get them from Cummins.

This is the route I plan to take whenever money comes (next tax return?).

the s300 is a very good turbo. especially if an aftermarket company has got in there and started beefin em up. if its a stock s300, id go the hx40 route instead IMO

I would say definatley go for it. An S300 has a much stronger shaft than an HX40 and is is capable of similar hp. An S300G has a 57 mm comp wheel and is a base for pretty much all the more bad-*** turbos on the market ie...
Aurora 2000 - S300G
Phat Shaft - S300 based 64mm compressor wheel
Silver Bullet - S300 based 71mm compressor wheel
HTB2 - S300 based 64mm compressor wheel
Pro Street 66 - S300 based 71mm compressor wheel
BD Super B - S300G
BD Super B Special - S300 based 64mm compressor wheel


S300....GOOD
