How does your oil feed work? Obviously you said the return is gravity. Is it pure oil cooled, or did you tap into the radiator too?
On these trucks, where do you run vacuum to? My 300 had vacuum lines all over the darn place.
What turbo did you end up running? I'm thinking a t3/t4 hybrid would work well on these trucks.

t3/t4 is good depending on the size of pipe used and all that stuff....
vacuum lines - we just tapped into the brake booster.
oill - just add a T to ur current oil pressure sending unit. this turbo i have is only oil cooled.
u dont need a turbotimer or anything either so if you've been hard on it just take it easy before you get to ur destination and that'll be enough to cool it down.

so is 8 psi the max that the engine can take? cuz some guy was wanting to turbo his 07 4.2 @ 10 or 15 psi. i told him look into getting a new motor if he wanted to....but id really like to see your truck sometime this summer, if your ever near galveston, pearland, or anywhere like that. im keeping this truck, even when i get a new one, and would definitely like to slap a turbo on her...
