    M1009 turbo build

    I was thinking of going with the 6.5 injectors but don't want to spend the money. From what I have read on here and other sites is they put out about the same psi the 6.2s are like 1800 psi and the 6.5s are 2200 ish psi, and I guess the pop off presser is longer on the 6.5 most people keep the...

    Just got my 6.5 turbo setup some questions for those that have done this before.

    Alright I have another question if I should only push 10-12 psi should I even bother changing out the head gaskets or should I save a lot of time and a lil bit of money and just slap the turbo on?

    Just got my 6.5 turbo setup some questions for those that have done this before.

    If I use head bolts can I push 15psi safely and will the vacuum pump support this with the pump turned up a quarter turn. Also I did not know these trucks had a vacuum pump is it on the back of the intake manifold? I seen something there and don't know what it is.

    Just got my 6.5 turbo setup some questions for those that have done this before.

    'Thanks I did read your post, I think about your turbo setup just wanted to get a little more info like gaskets people are using and all. I wanted to use both manifolds but striped the first bolt on the driver side and did not have the tools on hand so will use stock 6.2 and make a cross over.
