What's the point of this thread? Why was a turbo motor built for a work truck?

Yeah, they will pull some power with the turbo. How much boost are you running? I'm going to be doing a turbo build for my 97 b2300. Full rebuild on this motor, only has 100k on it. And looking for turbo parts and Ecu. Except, I will be keeping my truck an auto. I know total waste, but I'm not looking to go fast and have fun. The trucks lifted and gonna be on 32s I tow trailers with Atvs and such and would like the extra power when needed. Plus a lot of 5.0 swaps and had the explorer to do it. But sold it.
