I was asked to research a buildup project and need to know what can be done with the turbo, better wheel, housing.

I know the turbo isn't very big. This is a 93 vintage. When the truck was new my fatherinlaw wanted to see if we could increase mileage and power. I did exhaust, pined the wastegate and installed a Hydropak. That was 278,000mi ago.):h

look around and call people......there are tons of exhaust housings and compressor wheels you can get machined to fit...

Ok guys, This clearly backs up what the kids tell me. You say one thing but are thinking on another planet. What I was trying to say was, GMC 6.5. I made the change on my sig. You aren't going to believe how many vehicles we have. I just got the nephews 6.2 rock'n with a hummer fuel pump I had rebuilt. It will take the 6.5 to 60mph.
