Turbo the Ford V-10 in my motorhome ?
Any thoughts on the plumbing work to get er done and will this kill my mpg. Wife thinks I am nuts but I could pass the rice burners on the grapevine in Cali when towing my stacker.. :@

Cheaper, far less complicated and more reliable to just change the axle gearing to a lower ratio (higher number). Gearing is a torque multiplier.
400 lb-ft motor x 4.10 gears = 1640 lb-ft
400 lb-ft motor x 4.88 gears = 1952 lb-ft
That's an increase in rear wheel torque of 312 lb-ft.
I doubt you'd see a 300+ lb-ft increase in torque by turbo'ing the V10.
That does sound great but that also keeps my RPM's higher, don't want that.
