if you dont have a junkyard, just buy from a reputable dealer, if it went out on you your better off just rebuilding it...

A Nv4500 IS for a dodge, do you already have a Five speed or do you have an automatic, If your wanting to go to a five Speed it will be alot easier to just get a ZF5 rather than trying to adapt a NV4500 to a IDI, which can get Realy pricy... If you have a Five Speed the ZF5 then just send it off to get rebuilt, itll be easier and cheaper in the end, and if you dont well you gotta get to clutch, clutch bosster, if its 4x4 the you need a different T case and your gonna have to redo your drivline. its all cost $$$$,

If you like it than im very happy for ya friend, but i know from experiance turbos on engines that wasnt made for em dont work well. Not stepin on nobodys toes at all By installing a turbo you can increase the bottome end tourqe and hp, along with increasing efficency= power.
Yes the IDI has a bit higher comp. ratio but thats why your limited to only about 10 maybe 12 psi maximum unless you have done some work...
as for fuel ... these pumps will crank out some serious fuel ( just need to know how to increase fule pressure) wich is easy to do . Efficency is the balance between power and waste product ( Black smoke is wasted potential power).... by adding a turbo you can increase the fuel and the internal pressure of the cylinder which will increase the overall efficency in total .... leaving less waste... and more power.. meaning happiness...
I have the big pipe and the big filter to aid the engine in sucking as much air as possible ... in and out.. which has yielded 2.8 mpg's reliably.... I have had other IDI's with turbos and they did pretty well.. of course more power wich was nice too.... and when something goes wrong....its easy as all get out to fix
....anyother questions ????

Yea if you get crazy with a turbo youll get hot, espiccialy since it proably wont have an air intercooler, so you pushin somwhat hot air instead of cool air. Like I said if you put on an aftermarket turbo unless you purposley put a bigger turbo on they generally on push 10 PSI which is nothing compared to modern diesels pushing 20 PSI to 40 PSI. There no problem putting a turbo on just be smart, and dont go crazy without preaparing the engine for the added compression. Like in 93 before the PS they had turbos stock on the trucks.
