...for $615, it's off a '93 6.5 and seems pretty complete (I've included the description that came with it at the bottom of this post). I've read T_F_E's excellent turbo-install thread, but I still have a few questions maybe you guys could help me with (it's going on a '86 M1009 with 40k miles):
1. What should my boost pressure be, like 10P PSI? Is the mechanical waste gate adjustable? Where's the best place to tap into the intake for the boost gauge tubing (maybe there's a port made for this?)
2. I'll be installing a pyrometer. Where should I weld in the bung for the thermocouple -- just past the driver's exhaust manifold, or in the downpipe after the turbo? Max exhaust temp is what, around 1100deg?
3. I'll be turning up the fuel delivery in the IP. While the top of the engine is apart, should I also install 6.5 marine injectors? Cost is a factor here, but so is the labor of taking it all apart again if I change my mind. I'm already using a Walbro FRB-22 electric fuel pump and pre-filter near the tank.
4. Does anyone make a 4" exhaust kit for the rest of the single exhaust?
Will the crossover pipe from the '93 work on the '85, with a 3" lift?
5. I guess I'll have to move one or both batteries to clear the turbo and airbox?
Any other suggestions/concerns would be appreciated. Here's the original Ebay description:
Here is a Complete Turbo install kit to convert a Non-Turbo 6.2 or 6.5 to Turbo, I will list each item and P/N's. Some pn's maybe old, I got the P/N from
compnine.com. The parts all came from a 1993 GM 6.5 Turbo Diesel, Block code J, I have mutiple other parts available!
The Gm-3 turbo is not rebuilt and does not need to but but I can if that is what you want (150.00) rebuilding charge!

Included with the parts is bags of almost every bolt needed to Install the kit . The Turbo turns freely and waste gate is also fuctional.
The bolts are separated by groups Intake, Exhaust, oil drain plate to the block
You would need: intake gaskets, exhaust gaskets, turbo to manifold gasket, turbo oit drain gasket , exhaust manifold seals,.
