    It's TURBO TIME!!!

    Well I know a turbo tends to quiet down a diesel a bit, but I am well over 110 dBC peak (slow response) now with no turbo, straight-piped, no mufflers, when measured at the pipe. Not sure how much this turbo quiets down this motor yet, but my point was also that either way, they won't let you...

    It's TURBO TIME!!!

    Update: Just ordered the air filter and working on getting a pyro. Looks like I will be doing a girdle kit on this as well but those fluid dampers are SPENDY!! $400 plus for one! I would like the added insurance of having that, but I'm thinking I'm going to replace mine with a new stock one...

    It's TURBO TIME!!!

    See, THAT's What I'm talking about. I'd love to be able to do something similar. Do you have more detail on this project? Do you have a thread on this or pics or anything?

    It's TURBO TIME!!!

    I can't really tell which motor that is (I'm on my iPhone right now, small screen. Is it a 6.5?). But actually I've been thinking down those same lines. If it is possible to get decent results without a ton of extra cost and headaches, I'd like to try the 6.5 take-off turbo route, but if it's...

    It's TURBO TIME!!!

    That's right. It would be super sweet to get a Banks, but just not a reality right now. I was hoping to grab as much as I could off a 6.5 and make it work. Anyone do this? Is it more trouble than it's worth?

    It's TURBO TIME!!!

    So, I have a really good friend that also happens to be slightly loaded and very generous. Everyone should have a friend like this, I highly recommend it. Anyway, I have a birthday coming up and he offered to put a turbo on my truck for me as a gift! I couldn't be happier! Talk about an...
