Is the LS Right for my Project?

My experience with turbos has been with race applications only, and I hadn't considered the issue of long-term durability as far as cooling is concerned.

The concept I considered was for quick-spooling, low-boost to keep it reliable. I was thinking of the smaller displacement for economy purposes during normal travel, but saw that they are also capable of impressive power when pushed. I'm not too sure I'd want to invest in being the Guinea Pig to test the viability of it over a long haul, however.

The diesel pusher concept is tempting, but unfortunately I don't have access to the fabrication facilities that I once used to enjoy.
