Default Adding power to the 6.5

i like chevys and the 6.5 turbo diesel i know aint as powerful/fast as the new diesels but ss diesel makes a power kit for them which includes a 80 horse power chip, a true 4 inch exaust, cold air intake, and pillar/gauges. which i would think all of that would add about 100 horsepower. I was wondering common problems with them just something to look out for and also would getting that power kit make the 6.5 come to life. Also i love the sound of turbos and all of thats suppose to make the turbo sound a whole lot better is that true. and would them upgrades make it blow any smoke i dont care about having smoke im just curious

how about a 4in straight pipe from heath, and chip, plus cold air intake all from heath? Would it really be a big power increase and blow any smoke

Most parts for these motors dont have a HUGE increase, but every little bit helps. The newer 6.5s with a chip and exhaust will run way better than a 92 or 93 mechanical motor IMO
