I think 6.0 is VVT. anything's possible, but its nothing near bolt on. -

There was a aftermarket company doing it a while back, I read about it I diesel power mag, they did it on two trucks one was around a 97 year and the other was a 99 or newer. It didn't say really how to do it but it did say they were useing some sort of stand alone computer to control the vains. -

why not just upgrade the turbo? you'll probably pay less for a turbo kit than you will for the 6.0 turbo then the standalone computer control system. I know alot of guys use 6.0 intercoolers on 7.3's but not turbos -

yeah it would probubly be cheaper to just upgrade but i think its a pretty sick idea myself and if he can get it to work i would think about doing it myself. and my freinds truck is the same as mine. 96 powerstroke.

its just i have no idea how you would hook all that stuff up like the wires and comp. im no good with wires and crap ,but the turbo i could take care of for him.

this is becoming a thing that i want to do as well so if anyone has any ideas on how to do so i would greatly appreciate it -

Its not a huge chalange to install the turbo, but take a look at the issues that the 6.0VGT has before you go and swap one in... You would be money ahead and time, hell even HP with a drop in GTP-38R...

Or better yet a Modded H2e... -

1000tq is not hard to do...

38r and hybrids will put you at 500hp-1000tq or more depending on the tuning...

With my hybrids and a modded H2e I put down 467/1050... -

well still, thats a pretty penny to do that. Id like to see a cummins swap, I know there are others but each one is just as good. -
