Turbo 6.0 is the the guy you need to be talking to as far as the sts to fit on your truck. If I remember right he works for sts.

I've never put a kit on a obs, might need to do a bit of work to make it all fit, idk.

The cross over and is 2 1/2" and the down pipe is 3". To upgrade to a MP t-76 is only $200. That's what I'm running on my own truck.

just so I am clear, the complete t-76 intercooled kit complete minus the fuel sys and tune would be $4400 plus shipping?

Personally I think if your gonna be offroading and such, a front mount might be a little safer to run then a rear..

full skid plate in that area, so not quite as worried, besides the 6-8" lift for some clearance. Planned onmounting tight to the bed and covered with the plate in the area for some protection. Besides I haven't ruled out the front mount as it would keep the intake up high too.

Well all depending on what he means offroading. You go through a mud hole and the front mount would get muddy just as the rear mount would too. As far as clearance. The rearend would bottom out before the turbo did on a rear mount.



exodus- how much was sts wanting for the universal kit and what all does it come with. Meaning-turbo,wastegate,bov,charge pipe,oil pump,feed and oil return lines, t flange,etc?

Yes the stock truck drivers side manifold is used with my kit.

Yes, everything in the pic (hot and cold piping) in post 3 is in the pic in post 14, plus the oil feed and drain lines and coolant extension hoses, WG and BOV and misc fitting and hard ware.
