I don't think you can..I am no expert... But the research that I have done say no..You can't take a turbo off- like a Cummins and put it on a gas truck or car cuz you have higher compression in a Cummins...Like I said I am no expert.

very doable depending on how familiar you are with turbos. A inline fuel pump, fmu,and ignition upgrade would be ghreat for it and might look into a mopar pcm

Find out the psi boost the cummins produces and give consideration to NOT using a Mopar pcm as, to the best of my knowlege, power via the Mopar PCM is via timing advance-among other fuel mapping &tc. Boost in the 6-8 psi range is 'normal' without having to get really sophisticated with octane enhancement (over 91-92) or water injection &tc..

Timing advance is the LAST thing you want to do with a force-fed engine. Doing so will usually result in detonation and engine melt-down. Most engine management systems for supercharged engines (twin-screw, centrifugal belt-driven or exhaust gas driven [aka "turbo"]) require retarding the timing to prevent detonation.

Check out blower web sites for verification!!,...

i highly doubt the turbo headers would ever fit. if your asking this question, your far from being capable of doing the swap.....

Absolutely not. The compressor map is totally different than the 5.2L...as well as the A/R. You'd be better off with either a T3, T3/T4 Hybrid, or properly matched T4.
