    That turbo is most likely off a large 10cy+ diesel genset or something
    Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.

    Yup thats an industrial diesel turbo.i think some Detroits use Schwitzer turbos.Should have taken some pics of a frac pumper I was working on this summer,had a similar setup.Hows about a 50 liter V12 QUAD turbo Detriot. each turbo was fed by 3 cyls.
