To the original poster,
If you seriously wanted to get more power out of your rig than you do now, you would have already done at least some research about it. The fact that not only have you not done so, but you haven't even bothered with proper instrumentation to protect your engine. Tells me that you don't give a ***** other than to look cool.
Used turbo kits are very easy to come by (I've owned two of them. $250 for one and $400 for the other). The funny part is, it will about match your friend's 1993 truck. With a little work, that would be a good looking, reliable rig if you spent some time at it.
Plenty of support and information on this site with many good people around to help. A little negative on the first few posts, but these guys do speak the truth. I'm only 20 and I've learned multitudes from these good folk over the past 5 years.

Its good that someone is around to keep us all in line when Dave S is out playing in the snow. Wish him luck as I heard on the news its gonna drop almost a foot in his region.Dieselkid, I don't mind the smoke so much when I see a truck hard at work, can't really help it then. The jerks doing it just to fool around and smoke people out walking along the street is what ticks me off!

Rollin Coal is for steam locomotives, not a street driven diesel. Still can't understand it, higher temps, and wasted fuel out the pipe. It doesn't look cool and doesn't mean your making big ponies. While I'm at it, those big diameter stacks are retarded, It reminds me of the saying, Throwing A hotdog Down the Hallway. Totally unecessary, If you want the big rig look, drive a big rig.
