turboing an 8v

[brian_wagner at sbcglobal.net (brian_wagner)]

Yes, it is true. Home heating oil is the same as diesel fuel and there is a
reagent in the Home heating fuel as well as the diesel fuel. Each reagent
turns a different color, if a LHT is caught with heating fuel in their tank
they can receive a $10,000 fine. I work in the medium duty trucking industry
and when ever you see a truck on the road for a spot DOT check this is one
of the tests they do.

I have heard that some diesel fuels are for agricultural use only
(off-road), have special coloring to identify them and are not taxed as road
fuel is.
 Hadn't heard about the heating oil thing....

  Is it just my imagination or did I read somewhere that heating oil and
  'driving oil' are the same thing, except for the federal crime thing (and
  the dye they add to the heating oil to try to fool you)

  Anyone..? Anyone..?

mainly because it had a turbo in it. But turbos always seem out of my
league. However, I know a bunch of you have turbo'd 8v's and I was wondering
just what is the cost. What parts can come from yards, what has to be
bought, how hard is it to find yard parts and what kind of work does it
take? I've looked at the 'kits' people have put together on vortex and they
all seem $1000 or more. The more detailed you are the better. Like if you
put: 4 mandrel u bends, 2 18" pieces of aluminum pipe - $75 that would be
way helpful. Even better, anyone have a tech writeup on it? Just give me the
low-down on what it takes to turbo an 8v.
