    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    You can buy a 'universal' Chinese kit on EBAY for $500.....BUT the turbo is wrong and crap, the pipes are wrong, the rest needed to put it in would cost 2X that and it would still be crap. You need a properly matched turbo from a reputable manufacturer. You need proper oil feeds and drains...

The Garrett is light years better than the GM7 as far as efficiency and is also much physically smaller which...
