[QUOTE="Topgunz, post: 1275648, member: 20689"] I understand it sits in a place that is susceptible to damage in certain conditions, however, I use my truck 99.99% of the time on roads that would not introduce any issues. I am not sliding across rocks in Moab, fender deep in mud, or....well those are the only 2 instances I can think of that would cause concern..lol.. The turbo will be tucked up and inside the frame where it will be nicely protected. Yes, bolting on a whipple is the fast/easy way...but thats not my style. Im more of a "built not bought" person. And, I dont want to shell out the 10K price tag that comes with the whipple. Plus, the turbo should experience very little to zero loss in gas mileage. I am guessing it will actually help. Especially when towing my camper. Those superchargers are just so parasitic for a daily driver. The turbo should be good for well over 600whp but I am going to limit it to around 550whp at this time. I have designed and sell supercharger kits to the 370z and G37 guys for the VQ37VHR family of motors/platforms. I am guessing that this 6.2L platform could use a cheaper option of forced induction. Who knows, maybe some guys will be interested in me cloning my kit for them in the future. That is how my SC business started and that kit is on over 75 vehicles now. [/QUOTE]
