    giant turbo is giant.

    if you're wanting info about turboing something, there's tons of very good articles on the Garrett website.

    what would that be going on?

    up top would be pretty fun. that's a pretty big turbo so you'll have a good amount of lag but you're also putting it on a decently sized V6.... so it could work out pretty good.

    hopefully some of the turboheads can get in here and give you more info about it.

    Thats why I posted here, most guys on the Dodge forum are old school SC type guys, and the real expert there wants me to buy it so he can do the install, so he may be a little biased.

    That'd probably be a pretty good match. That size engine should spool that thing fairly nicely, depending on the size of the Turbine Housing, so it shouldn't be too laggy.

    Read these though... they will teach you. Any questions, just ask.

    FAQ's about Turbos, Intercoolers, and Other Stuff

    Most people read through that stuff and still have a lot of questions and/or don't understand any of it. If you want though... you can PM me and I can break it down for you. Stuff you need to know, stuff you don't need to know, etc. You're a smart cookie though, so I don't think you'll have TOO much trouble. Turbo Tech 103 can be overwhelming though.
