turbo differences

[ak diesel driver]

anyone know the diferences if any between a gm5 and a gm6?

A GM6 is for a rear mounted application for vans and such. A GM5 is The same as a GM8 except for the way that the linkage is. I have a GM5 on my truck now and the only direct replacement for it is a GM8. I believe that a GM6 is also the same as a GM8 except for the way it is mounted.

MY DD 96 has the GM6 stock. My 96 dually has a GM5

GM-7 is the center mount Turbo that the Army uses in the HMMWV.

I got pictures if you want to see what they look like.

I have heard of GM6s on centermount apps also. Must be just the air side housing getting used in diff apps

I'm not actually part of this question, but I'd like to see the pics. Just curious to see how they are different from what I have on my 94 (GM4 ?).

I find it interesting how the exhaust inlet is very different from the turbo in the pickups and subs. No mounting plate, but instead an inlet tube for each bank of the motor.

Those GM6's with the two inlets remind me of the turbo on the 6.2/6.5's big brother the 8.2 fuel squeezer.
