Turbocharge a Truck Does anybody make a turbocharger system for the 4.8/5.3/6.0 trucks? Or maybe a better question would be: will the Camaro turbocharger system fit on a truck (with minor modification)? Sorry to post this here but I've never heard any turbocharger talk over in the Truck Forum.
if your going to offroad i would stay away from turbo all together, and go supercharger, like a roots that will have instant power when you need it.
on a side note, if you want to try to make a turbo kit work, i may sell my turbo tech kit

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
Everything is underhood. The air to air intercooler is in the grill, but will only work in current production trucks. The air to water intercooled kit should fit older trucks also, but this has not been fitted yet. Both test trucks are 2003 model Silverado SS ext cab short bed.
I assumed you were talking about me John but as i think about it I'm not sure.

Thanks for all the replies. My mods makes me look like and off roader but I never do that 
, all I do is cruise and race and I rarely tow. The lift is mostly just for looks. All you F-Body (is that right?) guys seem to like turbos so I figured why not do some asking around before I drop $5000+ on a RADIX or whatever.

I wonder if we'll see a turbo available for the 8.1?
