Got all the parts for installing a '93 6.5 gm-4 turbo on my '86 M1009. Just a few more questions:
1. From a quick search, the opinion seems to be that an intercooler is probably not going to make much difference, and might hurt throttle response due to turbo lag. I've got a chance to score a used Duramax intercooler for $100. Since I've relocated the batteries, I could put it in the pass side engine compartment with an electric fan to simplify the installation, but is it worth the $$$ and hassle?
2. I'll be turning up the mixture in the IP, but should I also advance the timing?
Thanx guys!
