When Kevin and I were playing with desert racing cars, we shied away from turbos. They do have the ability to boost power a lot, especially at the higher RPMs. But they have a downside.
A turbo has to run at 20,000 RPMs to begin to be effective. In a dusty environment, this is a problem. There were very few turbos that could withstand 500 miles of constant high-RPM use in a dusty environment without simulating a fragmentation grenade!
Dominating the race for 498 miles means nothing if your engine fragments 2 miles before the finish line! Turbos and dusty conditions do not mix well. The best air filters will not change this.
If you need a faster truck, Ford and Chevy sell them. If you need a real rig, stay with your slow Toyota 6-cylinder! Get over it!
