Can anybody confirm?
Somebody told me this morning that they made a special 4.3 L V6 with a factory turbocharger. He thought itcame out in the 80's butdidn't know weather it had actually ever made into a production vehicle. If one exist this could be a new possibility for my truck. It could be cheaper to start with and add on.

It was early 90s, if I remember right, the Syclone and Typhoon. One was a Blazer/Jimmy and the other was a Sonoma.
Both AWD, ifI remember right, and yeah, both with a turbo 4.3

Yup, the GMC Typhoon (Turbo 4.3L Jimmy) and the GMC Syclone (Turbo 4.3L S15). There is also a GMC Sonoma GT... Run a google search. You'll find tons of info.

Is anybody actually got one in a blazer say 98 up. I wasjust sittin' here thinking it could bekindacool to different than everybody else with a V8.Although costly repairs are getting expencive and I'm going through all my savings for the truck mods to repair the truck. Just my luck. At least now I can get help from you guys which in the two weeks or so I have been a member has probably saved me $300 bucks or more. Thanks
