man thats a nice truck. I dont know if anyone makes a kit for the 6.9L, and I dont know anything about turbo sizing...but my guess would be something like they used on the GM 3.8s like in Grand Nationals and Buick Regal turbos. The engine is smaller than the 4.9L but revs about twice as much, which means they flow relatively the same amount of CFM...ish. Wait till frederic decides to chime in, hes always got what you need to know when it comes to turbos.
