Default Turbo from a front end loader?

So I have this turbo my friend gave, I'll post somme pics of it tommrow, its litterally about 7 inches in diameter so I was wondering a few things lol

1. Would it be sweet?
2. Would it be safe? I don't wanna blow up my new 6-bolt.
3. Does it matter it came from a bulldozer that ran deisel?

I asked my local jdm shop and I also asked a few import mechanics and they jsut kinda looked at me lol eveyone I know says jsut pour some marvel in that bitch clean it out get some flangs welded on and bolt that bitch in but I dunno, my friend put one in his old integra, but he went to prison so I can't ask him lol so any help would be sweet

Bolt it up to some tester/donor motor and see what happens, not a fresh 6-bolt.

are you saying the opening for the housing is 7" in diameter or? Those turbos are designed around low rpm setups

+1 The turbo's for our mixer trucks have a 5' inlet and a 5' outlet. It spools 60psi at 2k rpm. Frontloaders I think have the same setup. Looks like you'll be the fastest 0-30mph that's for sure.
