the 6.5 turbo (not a duramax-they didn't come out til 2001) only makes like 7lbs of boost, so no i don't think you would want to try that just because the 1st gen one is better, and to get any 2001-later duramax turbo to work you'd need a stand alone vane controller for it being as it's a variable geometry turbo gonna probably be more work than it's worth to get it running correctly

The VVT turbo was not put on the first Gen Duramax(LB7) so no vane controller would be needed.
