thats why people rear mount turbos you get lag but you can get it to fit

I would agree on the 8-10k range... if not more. Plus custom mounting, and I can't see the tranny holding up to well. And all the weight from the diesel in the front will put alot of stress on the frontend susp. All the torque will probably tweaked the frame.
