Default Turbo 93 dakota

Im going to bebuying a fully built 93 dakota sport V6, with all the mods already done to it it produces close to 300hp, buttheres no such thing as too much power!so ive been looking into an STS remote turbo system. anyone here ever done one for this truck? if so any info about power gains/install help would be greatly appreciated, and where to buy from. thanks

That sounds like you got that v6 working its hardest. It sounds like a good Idea. But sometimes the engine needs to have lower compression to have a turbo and stuff like that. Good luck with it.

Engine, has been bored out(not sure how much), which would mean bigger(forged) pistions, rings, connecting rods, push rods, crank, cam, valves, springs, etc etc etc. this thing pulls hard through all gears, it launches like a damn drag car. and it goes sideways quite well too (if anyone tells you that you cant drift a dakota, they are VERY wrong.) it has a slammed suspension about 2" off the ground if that, a hard-top tonnuea cover, and extra wide tires in the rear to get that power to the road. i plan on doing shaved doors with poppers,possible air-ride suspension. And to top it off, i want it to be mopar orange.
