Does any company offer a Turbo for GM's 6.0L?

Your trans will be fine at those speeds it the turbo that would concern me. We do custom turbo setups. I don`t think you will find a KIT available.

Nate

You should build one should be super simple to do one for a truck
There is a tonne of room under the hood of a truck even with a water air intercooler
I'd estimate you could sell a few kits for sure
I'd buy one I'm done with superchargers Belts suck !!

Get me one around hear to mock up and we will make a kit out of it. I have not got any customers willing to do one on their trucks. Tell you what I have a friends truck I could mock up a kit on if I had a couple of sold kits. What kinda HP ranges you looking at?

lots!! of hp that is, i will most likely buy a kit from the first company that comes out with one.

if you built a single kit around the t-60 thru t-76 turbos i think you would make most everyone happy.

i personaly would like to be pushing the limits of a t76 or larger

i have been informed that there is a company (not revealed) but a well-know company workin on a trubo kit for the late model GM trucks that make as much hp as the leadin s/c but a fraction of the coast. I was told that it should be available in late spring.

i would want a turbo too if it makes as much hp as a magnacharger radix kit or at least close to it and coast less too. Where are you located Nate? how long would it take to fab one of these kits up?

How Long you figure something like this would take to Test fit and manufacture
I'm in for kit for sure
the Truck market really needs someone to step up and build a nice kit that will support a t-60 all the way up too a T-76 as Parish said
Lots of room under the hood for sure
14 guage log style header would be nice with a 2.5" cross over should be a snap


This Can't be that hard to do ..I should make my own kit
I think it would be much cooler to Say i have a turbo in my truck
First turbo kit on the market is the one i BUY ..
