Default Turbo 5.9 magnum

I’m thinking about putting a turbo on my 2000 dodge 5.9 magnum and was wondering if anybody has done this to a bone stock motor? If so what issues would I be looking at or what kind of performance would I be looking at? I’m only trying to get about 10psi out of it more for midrange pulling!

10 PSI on a stock motor likely won't last long.... You can probably get away with 7 or so, for a while. You'll need a custom tune, a 3 bar MAP sensor, and a fair bit of fabrication to make it work though.....

As for performance..... That depends on what size turbo you toss in there. A smaller turbo will spin up faster, giving you boost lower in the RPM range, but, run out of steam higher up in the RPM band. Larger turbo will give you more mid-range, upper RPM power..... but likely will be somewhat limited by the intake manifold design. (VERY long runners.....) Not going to be an inexpensive project though. So far as I know, there are no 'kits' available for such an occasion. So, simply mounting the turbo is going to be the first exercise.
