turbo setup

acsamples79 · 02-17-2009, 04:50 PM

if i had a turbo off an older thunderbird, is it possible to take that and do a custom setup in my ram 1500? just get all the parts myself to do my own setup, maybe an sts setup, if so how hard and expensive would it be?

If you can weld, it should be relatively easy to fabricate a set up. You will need custom headers and tubing, plus an intercooler, down pipe, air intake, and most importantly tuning. You most likely will need fuel system and transmission upgrades as well. This is assuming your engine itself is in top shape.

It can be done, but dont be fooled, it will not be easy. Good luck.
