Everything I'll be using will be GM parts or remanufactured parts. Running that kind of heat, I hope you have the HO water pump atleast.

10 to 12 is all I'm aiming for. But gaskets and studs are easy insurance..

I dont want to cross that road while going down the road haha

Price isn't a problem if it's the right wayou to do it. But the bell alone is $400. If I still have to swap to a different starter or grind down the nose cone, I'd rather just find a factory one and be in it dirt cheap.

I'd love to make 15 but don't the EGTs start getting too high under load?

Yes exactly. Did you use 6.5 head gaskets? I'm probably going to do the turbo and transmission at the same time so the plan is to pull everything. Seems like an easy time to go ahead and upgrade head gaskets.

I've got a 96+ chevy nv4500. I've read that you have to have a factory bell housing for that transmission or you have to order one.

I have found a manual adjustable waste gate online so you can fine tune the boost. Some of the turbos work off of vacuum and supposedly draw back boost in higher rpms.

I will probably just add a drain to the oil pan. I don't mind the cost of the electrical pump, it's more about the vision I have of what will be "right". What did you do for a waste gate? Exhaust size?

Believe me, I've read every forum out and there are plenty of different ways to go about it. Everyone seems to have their opinion of "best" but the best for me looks like a 6.5 turbo set up. Which I picked up for 200 bucks and the turno is good. They are out there, you just have to always be...

I've done a ton of ready and head gaskets and cracks heads seem to be a common problem. I don't want to get 10k miles out of it and end up with cracked heads. I'm going to be running a stock gm8 so nothing more than 8 to 12 lbs. Just looking to build a reliable work horse.

I am talking about keeping the 6.2 bottom end. It's a non turbo motor. I believe it has a higher compression. And the motor will only get as much fuel as the Injection Pump puts out. But the heads supposedly flow better. And I know that the 6.2 and 6.5 heads are prone to cracking. I'm going to...

I know these motors have alot of interchangeable parts and I already found a great thread for a swap parts list. My question is, is it worth swapping 6.5 heads too? I found new, redesigned 6.5 heads for 400 a piece. Seems like a good investment. Obviously cracking areas were beefed up but do...
