Turbos/superchargers
I've done alot of searching on turbos and SC's for the 4.7L. They've all been discontinued. I was wanting to boost mine so bad. What i've found out, Our motor isnt really reliable with boost because of the piston tops are very thin.. you would have to swap to forged internals to be at peace of mind. I've backed off ever since. My buddy recently found a pro charger kit for his bone stock 06 ram 4.7L and needless to say he didnt listen to me. He's not sure exactly what happen but his truck is no longer running. He explained to me that he was racing one of the new 5.0 mustangs. He said after about 1/8 mile he started seeing white smoke behind him. Thought he was loosing traction he let off the gas and he heard a bunch of clanking noises and it died on him. When he tried to turn the engine over the starter was slow and alot of noise was happening. He was supposed to go today to get it looked at. I'm willing to bet a piston or 2 cracked and broke loose and probably devoured the heads. This is just what i have experience and thought i would share it. There is alot of more info on this on the web. Good luck.
