 Like the fuel system, turbo selection was also kept simple. Boost production is left in the hands of an S300-based charger that carries part number 202001 within Scheid’s Lightning line. The spoolfriendly turbo sports a cast compressor wheel with a 63mm inducer, 68mm turbine (exducer) and T4 open inlet flange, and builds more than 50 psi of boost.

 You can see that the 5.9L cylinder head is anchored to the block via ARP head studs. Not only that—the head was also treated to a CNC valve job, considerable port work and was machined to accept fire rings. A PTC three-piece exhaust manifold routes gasses to the turbocharger through a T4 outlet.
