anything is possible, all it takes is time and money. how much $$$ you think it would be to make the exhaust, intake, mount, lines? how good you think it will work with your fuel settings?

Other things to think of are, what size engine it was designed for, will yours put out enough volume of exhust to spool it or will it over spool it. There is a lot of research to do before jumping and spending your money on a hunch.

I fully understand about the research but I thought maybe someone could point me in the right direction for some info. I know the 4430 turbos are somewhat small so im sure my truck will spool it, I just need more info on how to do it

certainly doable if the motors are close to each other in cubic inches. Another thing to keep in mind is most tractor turbos (at least the ones ive seen) are non-wastegated which if the turbo is small to begin with would run the risk of coming apart if you overfueled. When you think of the time and materials to make it work, a grand doesnt seem so pricey for something designed to work on your engine.
