I guess it would depent on the turbo you wanted to use. Why a draw through though, why not a blow through? What kind of car is it for?

You really need to calm down a little. Almost every post you make these days has you calling someone stupid or moron. If you actually gave advise instead of belittling someone, maybe you would be a bit more productive towards the contribution and betterment of this site.

if you're gonna use the turbo to boost an air/fuel mixture, you need a turbo with a static, carbon seal thrust system. i'm not aware of any diesel turbo equipped with such devicefrom the factory. ALL BORGS, HOLSETS and Garrett diesel turbos I have looked at have dynamic seal, which allows oil-Gas contamination if fuel is present in the compressor.
how bad is this contamination actually? I don'T know. I quite frankly don'T have much hands-on experience with draw thru.
