Find out what they can be used for / if there is a market for them.
I wouldn't even worry about it to be honest

Seems like if anybody wanted to run more than one turbo on whatever engine, a massive amount of cheap turbos are out there. You need to deal with the complexity of running two or more turbos and that is about it. I have thought about running two on my toronado or is300 just because they are so plentiful (and it would be different). Of course I am talking about a modest power output and not a 500whp beast. Those mitsu turbos of old chrysler cars are still out there as are some little volvo ones. ect.

Pull it an use it on something smaller like a lawn tractor ^, or a 4 wheeler, or a snowmobile, or a bike, or w/e.
