HMMWV turbo question

There is the Banks sidewinder turbo that some have put in their CUCV's. I bought one this weekend in a wrecked Suburban, they are built specifically for the 6.2 engine.

To fit in a HMMWV you need the center mount turbo setup that is used on HMMWV's, GMC/Chevy vans with 6.5's and some set vans and RV's.

To use the center mount Turbo you will need the intake, heads, and exhaust from a 6.5 with the center mount turbo. The angle of the intake mounting studs are different, so they require the heads that are only used with the 6.5,

Banks made an H1 kit, but those are pretty rare. I am pretty sure the pickup kit willl not fir a HMMWV.

Look for a 6.5 turbo setup from a van. The turbo is mounted higher than the turck set up. the civi 6.5 hummer and van use the same parts. You will also need the shorter 6.5 injectors to clear the exaust manafold on the passenger side.

I know this is an old thread and this may be a stupid question, but since the intake and exhaust manifolds are the same one the 6.2 and 6.5 (at least thats what ive gathered) then wouldnt an h1/van turbo bolt straight onto one of the exhaust manifolds. Then if need be the rest of the piping and tubing could be custom cut and everything? I'll post a ling to the exact one i'm talking about but it almost looks like it was meant to bolt straight onto a stock em. I have yet to find out if its waste gate is fully mechanical and preset, but it looks promising. http://www.buyautoparts.com/plabuyn...ljEoYfFSsvbQYjjIt5itSlkm5yP10qB19OxoCZ1vw_wcB
