Man, I hate when people say that!! In this case, yes you'd want to look at flow; but both matters. When you're picking your turbo and you're looking at compressor maps; you'd have to calculate how much boost you want to run and how much flow you need at the desired rpm.
diesel trucks have no bov

That depends; some trucks/busses do have bypass valves; which really is just a BOV routed back into the intake(before the turbo). Although, from what I've seen it's more common to see no bypass/BOV on modern trucks.
Well I was looking at it today and noticed that it had just a little play in the center shaft, So I decided to take it apart and see if I could do anything to tighten it up. Well in the process I seem to have snapped the tip of the shaft off on the outer air side. I think it is trash now. or does a rebuild kit supply the center shaft? does anyone know where to get rebuild kits for a Schwitzer S1 turbo or now known as borg-warner?
ommon semi's use what is called a rig saver. if they over ramp rpm it triggers a spring loaded plate that slams closed cutting off all air into the intake system thus shutting down the engine. We have them on the truvks I drive at work (I work for Halliburton, for those that don't know what Halliburton does we are in the oil and gas well servicing and cementing business, pretty much everything but drilling). I drive a cement bulk truck.

Don't you think it's a little far fetched to use a diesel turbo from a truck on a 1.6. I doubt you will be able to spool that turbo. You do also know that diesel engines usually have a compression ratio of around 20:1 and gas engines average around 9:1.
Maybe I'm wrong but definately something to consider.

Turbos are turbos. It doesnt matter if it came off a gas or diesel engine. The only difference is size. A turbo off a diesel engine is usually bigger being as diesels have soo much more compression. They can spool the bigger turbo in an acceptable manner for towing or turning massive PTO's. When you put that bigger turbo on a gas engine with half the compression, its gunna take a lot longer to spool, but it will move more air, creating more power.
my ex went turbo for my nuts
Yeah, plenty. The civic comes with a turbo. I'm not sure what size though.
Lmao
