Building my own twin set up

The turbo if from a fire truck. So far all I have found is the a/r.81 and some #'s on the compressor housing along with garret. What mesurements do i need to see if this will work? it was on a v-92 detroit with 19k miles. And it is the size of a basketball!
.81 hotside?? If so, thats too small. You'll need a turbo with a looser ~1.10+ A/R hotside to work well for twins IMO.
Pull the compressor and turbine housings off and measure the diameter of each wheel. Measure compressor and turbine wheel inducer and exducer. This will give us a little bit of info on the general size, but if you could find the stock P/N it would be more helpful.
Thanks for the help. I'll be taking the fire truck apart on monday so then I'll take the turbo apart and hopefully we can make sure this will work.
Good luck on your build, keep us updated, im also looking at building my own twin setup just need to scrounge a turbo like your doing.....
Here are some pics of the turbo i wll be using for my set up. Also I have the turbine specs inducer 111.5mm, exducer 101.5. Compressor inducer 88.0, exducer 117.6. Model # TV8513.
