i'm looking for a turbo from a 1996 or later 6.5l diesel. GM-5 or GM-8. my turbo is getting lots of play and is just out of its efficiency for the boost i'm running. anyone have anything used and cheap? just PM ME!

you're better off getting yours rebuilt by russ.
GM 6.5 turbos are weak dogs. I grafted on a wastegated Banks from a IH idi onto a 6.5 and immeadiately woke up the throttle response.

yea but i want the efficiency. my turbo is maxxed out(14lbs of boost) not gonna do what i want it to. the 6.5l(well the later ones) are much more efficient than a factory or the other kits. those turbos are matched to the motor like the fuel system. to run with a close margin of use to limit(if that makes sense)
