garrett 60 trim

Someone wants to sell me a garrett turbo that came off of a big rig. The turbo number is garrett 714788-9001. Will this Turbo work on a DSM at all?

Sure, but you will have to put an decent amount of work into it. You'll need a new exhaust manifold, you'll need to block off the current turbo water lines somehow, you'll need a custom oil feed that will probably require the use of a restrictor, and a custom oil drain.

Depending on the size, you may also find that you have clearance issues, that require you to dent the water pipe or clock the housing, etc...

Basically, unless you find someone already running it on a DSM that can give you answers, you'll have to just pick up and try it for yourself. You can make basically anything fit, the question is just if the amount of work it will take is worth it or not.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was planning on running an hx35 so i got myself familiar with what i was going to need to do. Sounds like this setup is somewhat the same on building it. Curious as to the power i will be putting out.

Right. The only real difference I would anticipate is if you planned on running the BEP housing on the HX35 and using an exhaust manifold with a DSM flange, you probably won't be able to do so now, and will need to invest in a twin scroll manifold and an external wastegate setup.
