Yes it will work. You will need to drill and tap a oil supply line in and pipe a return line in. The only real problem you might run into is the injectors are shorter in a 6.5 and it will cause the passenger side injectors to fit tight.

If it has got a spring type waste gate your fine if it is vacuum operated you need to convert it to a spring type.

If it is a spring type you don't need to buy a aftermarket spring to turn it up. Get a boost gauge. Then all you need to do is shorten the rod between the spring and the wastegate arm. You can do it by drilling another hole in the rod closer to the spring.
