Man i would look hard into Kyles non intercooled kit its HARD to beat for the quality of these kits. Add a fuel pump, injectors and a tune and you can be scooting around pretty good for a descent price. Or a good mp112 radix can be had for aound 2-2500.00 as well and are awesome bolt and go chargers...

You can usually find a used procharger kit for around $2500. What are your goals and plans with the truck?

Just did a quick search and found a procharger kit on craigslist in kansas city kansas. Comes with everything even injectors and upgraded 3 core intercooler... all for $2250! Give this guy a ring at 816-529-2943. I am sure he would ship if he wanted to sell it. Goodluck.

If your on a budget I would go with one of the non-intercooled turbo kits and spend the rest of your money on an upgraded transmission. The good thing about these kits are that you can always upgrade them and add an intercooler or even a bigger turbo if you want more power.
