Default Turbos for R/T's

Does anyone know of any Turbo kits for the Dakota R/T. Im looking at Superchargers and they dont have the boost that i want. And i hate making kits my self. If i have to i will do it, i just dont feel like taking the time (i have done it in the past). Im building a small block that will be reaching 800+ hp and the superchargers out there arent going to give me enough air.

Thanks for the Turbo Technology Turbocharger System site. It looks like a good kit. I think im only going to be getting it is pieces because im looking for more boost and Im thinking about a very large Air to air intercooler. Hope to be running 10s some time down the road. Thanks guys.

Dakota 736,
Try TRTTurbo.com. They are a dealer for STSturbo. I got a quote for $3600, for a universal type kit, with an upgraded GT-67. I have the info at work, if you need more details. I have really considered this too. The lack of tunability, is the reason, I have not made the investment towards turbocharging yet. FAST make a fully tunable system, that would be great for tuning a turbo on an MPI motor like the 5.9 Magnum, but it's major bucks! I am about $4500 into modifications beyond stock. I anticipate to budget 10000 on my next list upgrades. I have eyed everything from a stroker motor, supercharging, turbocharging, and a combonation of those, with what I already have. Gear vendors also has an interesting product, close ratio 8 speed!
Good Luck with TRTturbo, they were very professional, and if you need the guys e-mail address, let me know?

I called sts directly and they quoted me $3100 earlier this year for the universal kit. Heads up.
