No difference at all.

All turbos from T2x to T8X are used, somewhere, on a gas AND a diesel engine.

I'm producijng over 300 WHP on my prelude with a GM 6.5L diesel turbo!

Holset boy here, off a Dodge Cummins turbodiesel. If split tang housing, do try to pair 1 + 4, 2 + 3, for best results.

diesel turbos usually have a larger turbine a/r than the ones found on gas motors.

I was looking at one of the turbos from a ford power stroke today at work, they have variable veins on the compressor side to adjust boost pressure. Kinda cool, too bad it's way too damn big to go on anything I've got.

newer diesel truck turbos have electronic components, about 8+ wires go into the turbo on my dad's 2004 duramax.

I read somewhere on here that diesel turbos are beefier because they spend more time boosting, and as a result they are heavier and more laggy, but I don't know how true that is after reading what's in this thread so far.

In our country there are no Petrol Turbo engines.
So all the Junk yard turbos are Disel.
FOr some stupid reason I thought you cant use a Disel turbo on a petrol car.
And landed up spending 300$ importing a Turbo from ebay.
A mate just picked up a Junk yard disel and pluged it in works fine.

What Iv noticed.
1. Disel Turbos are much more sturdy. They are designed to take / run with much higer temps.
2. All the Disel Turbos here use Bushes no ball bearings.
3. The compresor wheel blades design seem to be diffirent.

None of the disel engines we have seen at the junk yard. Have water cooling or a BOV on them.

did you read anything in this thread or just the title? does your d16/b16 run on petrol (gasoline)? if you answered yes to any of these questions then the answer lies before you.
