New to the 12valve...

Hey everybody. I just scored myself my grandfathers 1989 12v dually (for free), with60k original miles on it. But here is my problem, I know jack about 12v. Are there easy ways to pep it up a bit when I finally get it home...Cost effective ways...Adjustments etc. And also I have a stock turbo from my 05 sitting in my shop with 5k miles in it, can that be intalled easily onto this '89???
There are probably threads on this already but what the hey...Any suggestions appreciated...

The cheapest way or free way is to turn up the pump but you want gauges before you do anything... http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/more_po...wer_ve.htm#top
