Default turbo

decided to go with a fronty mount turbo from tricks. BUT!!! Will my stock stock 6.0 handle it. Dual flow master with 40 series muffs and hooker headers is all i have. Going to take it in to get it tuned when i find out if my motor will take it for now, going to dive into internals later wanna quick fix, any ideas for a newb thanks.

On low boost and get rid of those flowmasters since they are complete POS's and the headers don't matter since you can't use them anyway

Great, to hear.
6.0L is one tough set up.
sell the exhaust you have or put up in the rafters. The turbo kit will be a single exhuast and for muffler go with at least a 3" magnaflow, dynomax, straight through perferated core design.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

I ran 11psi on my stock LQ9 6.0 with the trick setup. No problems other than being super rich, which is a tuning issue.

Hope you get that worked out. 11 psi with a good tune is sweet feeling for sure.

your 6.0 will handle it fine with good tuning.
