Chevrolet/GMC 6.5L Model GM8 Turbo
Product description
Dieselsite GM8 Turbo with 360° Thrust Washer
Dieselsite's GM8 Turbo was designed to meet the needs of those who aren't necessarily looking for the super-high performance of our Hurricane 2 Ball Bearing Turbo. Whether you are looking for a direct stock replacement, or are on a budget, this turbo is for you. Many aftermarket 6.5L turbos are manufactured with a 270° thrust washer to cut costs. We use a 360° thrust washer to increase the durability and life span of our GM8 turbo. While the Dieselsite GM8 turbo is a stock replacement, it is compatible with our 6.5L turbo upgrades that you can add on in the future.
