Turbos can be any size. I have seen some that you could crawl into.

Heck a turbo fan jet engine is just a large form of a turbo charger that has an added combustion process.

The Silver 62 is not cooling on your truck....those EGT's are very high even for a 2006. $300 for water injection would have saved you alot of expense in the near future....With water injection you would be around 1350 with 30-50 more hp under your belt....and water isn't a drug. If you are getting that much hp out of a 62....I wouldn't step up to anything other than twins unless you are just going for the track or sled. If my girl was driving it ... it would be in valet mode unless she was experience in the performance diesel or race world. Kerry

Nobody drives my truck except me, so there is no problems there....the fiance has her 'vette, and that is the way it stays.

So you recommend twins for me?? I only tow 14K once a month, and have absolutley no egt problems as it stands now, thats why I was leaning towards the Silver bullet.....ends up being the same price pretty much either way + or - a couple hundred.
