i don't see why not - it's only a matter of sizing the turbo to the
airflow, smaller at these low rpm than a 'screamer'.  another point -
dynamic stress goes as the square of rpm; stock internals that can
take 140hp at 5000 can handle quite a lot of boost at 2500.

so you don't have a metric buttload of hp - torque is what moves your
car off the line.

" They're pretty decent 
" on the road with 110 - 130hp; with 180 - 200 hp they'd be tremendous! And

imho you'd have to start thinking about that mopar 10" clutch with
that kind of hp...
