Haha, I don't even think it's a "turbo" in the sense that we speak of them, for use as forced induction for an engine.

Diesel train engines aren't nearly that big, haha, you even seen a big backup generator? That's about how big those engines are.

I've seen some stupid big Turbo's on some old school diesel ships, but again, not nearly that big, haha.

It's just a turbine for some other purpose, but happens to look a lot like a turbo, as well as show up in google image when I search "Big Turbo", lol.

I've been using my 98xj to pull a 5000lb camper. Have'nt gone any great distances yet but plan to. Anyway, it has air shocks when pressured up, keeps everything level. I do plan on getting a weight distrubation hitch though, as soon as I get the campers tounge weight. Thats probablly the safest way to go.
