J code intake with a turbo?

[us74k5]

Is it possible to make a 6.5 turbo setup work with the N/A J code intake? Could I just fab up something to go from the turbo to the intake? Or better yet would one of the upper manifold's from a 6.5 fit on the J code intake?

Sure - all that's really required is a sealed system between the turbo compressor output and the intake that can withstand 15psi or so (actual pressures will be lower for a stock 6.5 turbo, but that allows some margin). You can get the proper type of silicone rubber flex hose pieces and large hose clamps at Autozone for the turbo-to-pipe and pipe-to-plenum connections. The rest (pipe and plenum) depends on your fab skill. There is some engineering requried for correct plenum volume, but I would just measure a 6.2L (Banks) or 6.5L plenum and try to get close on internal volume.

I'm pretty sure a 6.5L upper manifold won't work with a 6.2L intake.

Appreciate the reply. I found the whole setup brand new for $105 bucks. Figured that was a lot easier than fabbing everything up. Thanks though!
