it is called axle wrap, look on google for a good explanation definition. Typically, this can be solved with a good oil shock or anit wheel hop bars. It is unlikely that this can be solved on a real big rig

Wheel hop can break a lot of expensive parts.
If you want to do burn outs you should address that issue before you spend all your turbo funds on repairing the driveline.
The addition of a turbo is only going to make the wheel hop worse and the dollar amount of the repair go up.

Its a diesel truck, why on earth would you want to do a burnout in it. Buy fox body mustang beater, and abuse it with a nice smoky burnout just my $.02

my 89 F250 will burn pretty good with no wheel hop, in first gear. For real fun, I take the Cobra convertibe out for a run. That will still loose control in 2nd and 3rd gear. Ask me, I have done it....

Put some donut tires on it and that diesel should burn rubber without even trying.
I would take off real fast when it was raining and the 33" BFGs would lose traction and start hopping and it broke all the springs in my clutch.
Traction bars would help I would think.
