Default Turbo for Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi

I want to increase my midrange and top-end horsepower by adding a turbo system. I have not seen any aftermarket kits for my engine except the Turbonator, which I have doubts about its performance. I also want an increase in my 70 mph highway mileage. I get about 12 mpg tooling around town and 15 mpg at 70 mph. The best the 5.7 gets is 23 to 24 mpg at 48 mph. If I could increase this by 10 to 15 percent I'd be happy. If anyone has found a company that installs turbos or sells kits, please let me know.

Me and several guys have STS Turbos on our hemi rams.

Check out ststurbo.com

I am a dealer for them.

As I type this, I see hemifever is also viewing this thread, so I expect he will chime in real soon.

The STS kit is doing me pretty good. BIG increase in power. At 7psi, we go over the 400rwhp mark.

@hemifever
Does STS make a kit for 2008 5.7L?
