    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    No doubt. I keep mine at a max of 10 psi, but I have an EGT gauge, and at times I have to back off the throttle on a long grades. I'd probably stay at 6 or so if I did not have an EGT gauge.

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    The stock 6.5TD system adds about 60 - 70 HP and about 120 -130 TQ to a stock 6.2. It truly makes it a whole 'nother animal. You can push a little more than safely, but a lot more. 200 - 210 HP and 400 - 420 TQ is typical. The 400 ft lbs is pretty stout in these trucks with no more than they...

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

I do work mine pretty hard, but I don't make a habit of taking off at WOT and holding...

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    I have turbo'd two 6.2's and am about to put a Banks kit on my M1009 making it my third, and I have had no problems.

    How to turbo a 6.2 using 6.5 parts

    Below is the way I did mine. I wanted to retain the mechanical fuel pump, and Banks wouldn't sell me one of their plates. I ran braided stainless 6-AN from the port on the driver's side of the block under the intake and to the turbo. I'm also running a 6.5TD passenger side valve cover and CDR...
