6.7 Turbo on 5.9 ???
Has anyone done this? I was thinking of going to a salvage and picking up a Turbo off a newer 6.7 to do a "Bang for the Buck" type of thing. I was just wondering how much bigger the Turbo is and How much it would help.
I know I'll need to add more fuel as well and I was hoping someone with a little more knowledge would chime in on that too. Would the HR-VP44 be to much or can I get by with a stock VP44 and bigger injectors. Just need some advice, I'm new to diesels, Thanks!

The first thing I suggest doing to a VP truck is investing in a fuel pressure gauge to keep an eye on your lift pump. VP trucks are notorious for lift pump failures, which in turn kills the injector pump in short order. I would invest in gauges and then look into an airdog if you plan on making more power down the road. An airdog is about a third the price of a new injector pump.
