Just trying to find out which is the best turbo type/model no to fit up to a 6.2 V8 Chev diesel.
I'd consider twin turbos as well if I could :shock:

Anyone???

Someone will know, but it might be wise to consider the thermal load that turbos are gonna bring in.

In other words, she's gonna run hot hot hot! :)

I thought the 6.2 wasn't really do able for Turbos, top end not strong enough or something? Can't remember exactly but I've read something in a mag on this subject.

Top end of the GM6.2 and GM6.5 are interchangeable, only the bottom end (block/bore/stoke) that are different. Infact the 6.2 block is less prone to cracking than the 6.5
