Has anyone made a turbo for the Ram?
What would benefit the HEMI motor better, supercharger or turbo?

There a few turbo'd hemi's out there. But most people run the superchargers on them for cost purposes and availability. Turbo just are custom for each truck well the supercharger is a kit relatively cheap and easy to install.

There is a turbo kit available for 3rd gen rams. But the vast majority I've seen have bee one off custom jobs. But a turbo would probably be most compared to a centrifugal supercharger like a ripp or procharger, they make good top end power. But a roots type blower like a magnuson will make great low end torque.

It's just tuning you are waiting on that's all. The kits will work. Just can't tune them yet. It took till beginning of this year to get 12 tuning out. It will come just be patient.
