Did anyone found a dealer that produces the turbo unit for the Dakota 5.9,
5.2, 4.7. & 3.X?

THis sounds very interesting. What about using a VNT (i believe is whatit's
called) style turbo. Maening a turbo with the vanes inside it that a
variable. I
know that honda had one of these and I believe that chrysler used them also
in
the later turbo cars. They are supposed to give really big gains from a
small
turba and almost completely eliminate lag. Not an expert in turbos just a
thought.
