Ok so before I get the "thats stupid" or "youre an idiot its not meant for that" comments, dont waste your time.
So I'm well aware that the 3.0 is not meant to be a horsepower or torque motor, just milage, but i'm curious. I'm a powerstroke guy, and my 01 gets 22 to the gallon thanks to my tuning. So if my F350 can make that kind of horsepower and torque and still get good milage, I thought about my little 3.0. can a 3.0 handle a turbo? whats the compression ratio? can the rotating assembly handle boost? if only say 8-12psi. just enough to wake it up.....
