Thread: Has anyone compound turbocharged a TD5?

I take it you have not pedalled Detroit Diesel two strokes. No lag, power available right from clutch engagement to governed rpm. Instant throttle response and a ripper torque curve. An angry one has the best exhaust note as an added bonus.

I dont think I have driven that motor, but no truck motor that I have driven has had me as impressed as the SQ5 motor.
