Anyone have an opinion on whether it is possible to remove the larger of the two turbo's that come on a 20B and reuse it by its self. New manifolds would have to be made to adapt it but would it be able to handle the exhaust without causing too much back pressure? I only want about 300 HP max so I wonder if this could work....John

What you need to worry about with a small turbo like that over speeding.
They are small for a car engine so they speed up fast when you floor
the accelerator. Not needed in an aircraft engine. Might work
for awhile but plan ahead to change it later if it does not work
out.
