Wait for Hahns5.2. I believe it's him (and how it's spelled). He's boosted.

Anyone got a parts list to do this? May consider doing this. Doable on a mostly stock 360?

Keep it under 7 pounds of boost, need a custom tune, a 2 or 3 bar MAP sensor, plumbing for the turbo, (oil, air, exhaust) etc. Its an interesting project.

them guys on the dakota durango forum have some pretty neat setups, as i was reading through their power add ons board at school today! I was quite impressed, since i know from owning a dakota how little room there is to work with on those things in the engine bays.

spun360, that looks like a nice kit!

to the op, before you boost, make sure your transmission can handle it.

a nice kit for $5K. he supplies the headers/ intake pipes/ gate valve/ oiling hook ups/ injectors/ sct chip tuner/ exhaust/ and more. up to a 500hp motor on the intro kit. a stocker magnum crank and pistons should take it. weak points are the heads and the plenum gasket in the intake! 5-7lbs of boost is easy.
what he doesnt supply, that i think is important, is the intercooler. bout $300 ebay.
fyi i have not done it yet!
