    I am working with a fabricator , pending finding a donor truck in or around Denver, to put together a turbo kit for the Magnum. Specifically, one with a T6 flange so significant power can be made through a single, without back pressure or running significant amounts of boost.

    I believe you should fab your own especially if you have a fab guy. This of course only if you want best results .... Pretty much all of the nicest turbo installs around were self fabbed or one offs.

    If I was to work with my fabricator I would have to ship or drive my truck to MI anf give it up when I can buy a kit and if there is some hick ups work thru them here.I have been down the turbo builds before. To me at this point in time I would rather buy a kit and if it is a pain in the ass take it off and sell it.Give someone else a deal on it.

    Yeah he is the best. Just buy his. None of the big names care to support a platform that was end of lifed 12+ years ago.

    Pie's kit you can install in a weekend. It is the true meaning of "kit".
