Default turbo the 5.2

Hi.. I am from eastern Washington. I have a 95 Dakota, with the 5.2 I am going to turbo charge it. Then I am gonna turbo my 68 440 Charger also..
But first have to get past the computer stuff I know little about on the Dak. Will I need bigger injectors? Where to find them? 2: Computer mods,, igintion mods? Anyone know what I need to do for this performance upgrade? what pistons are in the stock engine?

Welcome to the site. I moved this thread to the first generation Dakota section. Paxton makes superchargers for the Charger and Procharger may make it for the Dakota. Try the Supercharger Store web site,

There is no direct bolt on turbo kit. Your going to have to buy universal parts and custom build it your self. We got several posts on turbo builds. Hahns5.2 has a very good thread on it all. First link below.

Here is a copy and paste from the FAQ2 in this section, just a few posts above this one. The FAQ2 has tons more performance and aftermarket Ideas/Links.

SIZE=4]Engine Performance: Forced Induction and Nitrous Oxide
