Is it cheaper to get a 6bt than it is to turbo the 6.2?
Nope, but you get more power and more reliable
not to be an ass but you might have better luck searching by spelling it "cummins"
4btswaps.com has some info and if you really want the down low on cummins try "turbo diesel registry".
and the diesel section of ck5 has some stuff in it to http://www.coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121702

does the increase in power justify the weight? the 6bt is a full 400lbs more than a 6.2/6.5. assuming a street vehicle, 400lbs is nothing to cough at.
Yes you can get over 500 hp reliably from a 6bt

Makes a big difference , engine life, fuel mileage, power, easy to work on.400lb isn't nothing, just think about the extra weight that everybody carries,people.

exactly.....weight isn't anything. think about how many people stick a huge steel bumper way out in front of the diff with a big winch on it. thats added leverage being in front of the suspension. 400lbs on the engine is nothng. thats just putting a big fat farmboy in the passenger seat. does your truck ride any different. No.
