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.

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.

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

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

I doubt it would that cost effective. The Typhoon/Syclone is kind of a rare truck so that means it costs more. Unless you find one that was wrecked it would cost a lot to get a hold of one. I would just fab up a custom rear mount turbo if I were you. If you want to be different drop a turbo charged LS2 in there. :) jk that would be very expensive.
