I don't know what your final use plan for the truck is, but here is a quick little story on why you should. When I had my 96 Chevy with the 6.5L on Propane, I knew a guy who had a 12v dodge with sequential turbos. He would not tow a trailer at all. He said he couldn't keep his EGT or engine coolant temp under control with a load on the engine. Well, one day while towing a trailer in my 96 I passed him on a grade. He didn't talk to me ever again.

His truck could spank mine all over the place. but I could still tow with mine.

Cat C15s run a cooler between the charge air side of the turbos and there are a lot of off-road cummins engines (QSK60 for eg.) that run coolers between the turbos. It makes night and day difference!
