There is no bolt on type mass produced kit for the 5.9 R/T, but there have been several custom jobs. Speedtweaks.net made one, but I do believe they are no longer in business.

No drop in type kits made for this. It would be a complete fab up on your own part. More problems in fuel areas than you care to know about. Speedpro or DFI sytems needed . One guy tried to build this set up and lost over $10,000 trying. It never did run correctly, blew head gaskets, cracked heads, cracked headers, burn up pcm, plus the shop building it ripped him off and went out of business..

 ).  Unless you have access to fabrication equipment and the knowledge on how to do it, I wouldn't recommend trying to custom build a turbo setup. You'll spend way more money and time than you would by just buying an off-the-shelf blower.

Re: turbo r/t
Turbo's also make the engine run hotter and turbo's have that initial lag before power take off. Superchargers don't have those symptoms. But the only disadvantage to superchargers is that you cannot vary on demand boost on the fly as you can with a turbo.

????????????? How do turbos make the engine run hotter. You run them through an intercooler to chill the air. Turbo lag depends on the size of the turbo if you get an oversized turbo you will have lag. You just need to know how to choose one. And my brother bought the ATI procharger kit about 4 months ago. And with turbo chargers you dont have to change the oil in them every 5000 miles because you are using the engine oil.

Re: turbo r/t
Redmanjd,
You may be right by today's standards with much improved technology. I used to own several turbo'ed vehicles, but those were the 80's. Back when I had the turbo shelbycharger, and for a short time, owned a Buick GN. After a few years and 30k-50k miles, the engines really start to show their wear and end up running hotter than normal. Turbos generate so much additional heat within the engine bay as well. I had to flush out the antifreeze every 10k and the oil every 2-3k to keep the engine running as good as possible. Also, my A/C system can really put some additional strain on the engine cooling during the summer so turbo'ed vehicles naturally run hotter during the summer season. I was living in west texas back in the 80's and I can tell you, summer temps normally run around 105-110 degrees out there. Not good for turbos. Most turbo owners I used to hang around with in the past rather perfer a oversized turbo than a undersized turbo. You get much better airflow and higher boosts but at lagging expense. Back then, the way to get around it was getting the VNT turbos and some if that has the extra cash, go with a dual turbo setup using smaller turbos to reduce the lagging. I used to remember Toyota Supra's I think made a dual sequential turbos. Mainly one small turbo and one big turbo. The small one will kick in with instant power and barely no lagging, and midway thru the powerband, the big turbo kicks in to assist to provide more boost.

i agree 100%. With todays setup you can get factory turbos that have water cooling built in. One down fall of turbos are they only last about 70,000 miles before they need to be rebuilt.

Re: turbo r/t
I gotta disagree, you lose as much as 20% when you steal the power from the crank. Of course you get the increase in power but at the cost of more power. Turbos don't do that. Plus you can always add a second turbo.
