Is there any difference between petrol or diesel turbochargers?
I have a petreol powered car and need to replace its worn out turbo, I happen to have a turbo from a diesel cat gathering dust. Research so far shows that the diesel turbo will produce 8 psi of boost without modification whereas the turbo on my produced 5 psi before I modified it to run at around 8 psi.
I ask the question because petrol cars reach higher revs and reach them faster than diesels.So would the tubo be spinning faster than it is designed to if used on a petrol engine?
the deisel turbo is designed to run at lower rpms and will actually hurt performance above 3500 rpms on your gas(petrol) engine it will give you fast spoolups but you will watch your boost drop significantly when your engine reaches rpms above that of a deisel
