Can I use a tractor turbo?
Yesterday I found an ad on craigslist for a couple of Massey Ferguson combines being parted out. I call the guy up and ask what he wants for the stacks and elbows off of each one. He says 50 bucks, I say ok. Well, I went out there tonight and checked them out. One was all rotted out so I ended up only getting one stack. I pull it and leave there with a stack, cast iron elbow, and downpipe(I guess you'd still call it that on a tractor) for $25. Anyway, I'll get it mounted ASAP but my question is can I use the turbo off that combine on my truck? I figure remote mounting it is going to be easiest and since I already have the downpipe, the rest might be fairly easy. I know absolutely nothing about tractors so I have no clue what size engine is in this thing or what. The guy wasn't there when I was and his daughter didn't know any more than I did. And of course I didn't think to take any pics of the motor or turbo until I got home.

It was a 6 cylinder. When I climbed up top trying to pull the downpipe back I thought it looked really small, like it would fit in my truck pretty easily.

I'm also worried about it being too big and my truck not being able to spool it.
