Default Turbo Truck??

Who is going to build the first turbo truck?? I'm not brave enough to build the first GM fullsize turbo truck??

Any idea what company will make the first turbo kit for our trucks??

Go to http://forum.ls1truck.com/ , and at the the top of the page select conversions. There is a guy there with a turbo 6.0 in an early 70's truck. He designed and built the system. Seems to be pretty knowledgable.

Yes, that is sexy and it does get me going a little, but not our body style.

Looks like that truck is not going to have room for the fender liners, and that turbo is huge.

TE-60 is not a big turbo, it is bacically a te44 with a 60-1 compressor wheel.
