To answer you question, no. There is no company that makes any turbo, or even supercharger for the 3.0 L v-6. I know that there was a guy on the pirate forum that turboed his truck. It takes a lot of money and time. Probably just as much time and money as it would to buy a used 3.4 out of a tacoma and retrofit it into your truck. You've got 190 hp naturally aspirated which is MUCH better than forced induction and if you really want you can supercharge the 3.4 to get even more power.

If you really want to get more power out of you 3.0 and you're willing to spend a good sum of money, you're better off just doing the 3.4 swap.

Paxton built a belt driven super charger back in the day for the 3.0 I think it was meant for the T-100..... Good luck finding one.

A few years back this guy made a turbo for the 3.0. I will have to do some research to see who it was and if he ever produced any others.

Would be nice!

I just saw a guy with a turbo 3.0 this weekend out at the Hammers. He had an exo caged pickup with a turbo from a Grand National. He said it ran pretty nice, and not too hot. I have no idea what it took to get it in there, but it looked pretty involved.Lots of custom piping for the intercooler plumbing.
