Although it may be difficult I would like to see a turbo setup on a dodge. Turbos are usually very efficient so a gas milage comparison would be interesting. If you go through with this can you document your fuel economy for a while (month or more preferably) then do it afterward with the turbo. A before and after dyno pull would be very interesting to see also.

 

take lots of pics of your build process....and dont make me say later on that i told you so....lol.....i think it would be a neat set-up, its not somethign you normally see.

 

ok well we have a big event coming up here called super nationals, and they ahve a dyno there, im not sure when it is this year, but i can get the initial dyno there very cheap, so ill hold out for that one, and after the install i can take it to a shop somewhere

as far as gas mileage im about 14.5 mpg now, 5.2 33" tires, flowmaster,

 

hahaha must be highway mileage

 

its a decent mix, my last mileage was only 11.2 but that was also tromping around in 4 low for about an hour tached out running through pits and down a trail lol

 

i get 8

 

+1...sad thing is i get that when its mostly highway

 

hahah me too

 

at least yall dont run 2500 rpms at 55 XD i get like 8 on the best of days

 

my truck gets 11 MPG city on my 5.9. I have the fitch fuel catalyst. FWIW, my 5.2 ggot 16.6 city MPG with the 4 hole injectors.

About the turbo. I would not go higher than 6 lbs. That is what the procharger kits go to for our trucks. If you get ARP rod bolts then go 8 LBS.

BTW, where did you get the chip burner and tuner software? Can you burn a dodge ram? I never seen one, and i am guessing that you get an OBDII that connects to the laptop directly to the OBDII port.
