The 6BT used on the Dodge trucks have a 2 stage intake heater. A sensor detects the intake temp and desides if 0, 1, or both coils should be energized. A setup like this could be made with a large hairdryer coil, but I'm not sure if running a 120v coil on 12v would work.
They make 12V hair dryers. You can find them at truck stops.

That being said.. first make sure everything else is opperating correctly. Second if anyone decides to experement w/the hair dry preheater let me know, cause when the hair dryer parts shake apart and get injested by your turbo that means I might be able to buy an ok parts car from ya
