Turbo Options 6.2

[DieselFanatic]

I am just wanting the sound from the turbo. I do not care about added power, just want that whistle when taking it out in the summer. What turbo do you guys think I should go with?

I don't know which turbocharger for the 6.2 whistles, but I can tell you which does not: The GM8.

If you only want the sound then i'd suggest one of these. You will save yourself alot of work.

You have two basic options for adding a turbo to a square body Chevy with a 6.2 or 6.5 engine. Banks or GM. here is a video about it and what is good about each:

The GM4 to GM8 series turbos don't really whistle that much. While they certainly add some power, they can also become a restriction for the gear bound trucks like the M1008/1028/1031. I've got a HX40 that I'm going to swap onto mine eventually. But that'll come after the 4l80 swap. I probably will add in a intercooler I have as well.

If you want a real loud blower type sound just replace the stock fan and clutch with a direct bolt on flex fan and put it on backwards. Don't ask, but it did sound like a blower!

True, neither the Banks or the GM turbo units will whistle like a M35A2 C model turbo as for what can be heard from the drivers seat. However, they both do make turbo sounds at the tail pipe for people next to the vehicle.

Has anyone ever considered running a single exhaust and plumbing in a remote turbo from the rear? Just asking…

You could put it under the bed and then plumb the air intake into the cab.

I was going to do that to my 96 Ranger 5.0 but life had other ideas.

Rear mounted turbo’s have been done before. My problem with them is the oil supply and return.

I was going to set it up with a remote oil tank with inline filter and an electric pump.
