If your wanting a turbo kit Check out Nelsons new front mount kit or find yourself a rear mount STS kit.
You will need supporting mods too. Dont think you can just slap it on. Trannys suck, rear ends break, Fuel pump and injectors need upgraded.
heads, built tranny, converter, long tubes, exhaust, possibly efans, tune
ah a trany will be really expensive, but worth it
i still need specifics guys
hands down, HP for dollar, at least at first, price goes up as u start having to fill a bottle once a week...;)Quote:

Yea we all would like to go the turbo route. But your best bang for your buck is going to be buying a kit from nelson. I don't know how much experience you have had with the trucks and suv's because as you had stated in a previous post you are thinking about multiple vehicles. Don't forget these vehicles also like different cams with those turbo's. And different rear end gears. I'm not trying to offend you here but I myself am still quite the newb these vehicles. Start maybe with an intake/exhaust/tune. See what type of reaction you will get from those things first, then see about the turbo. The turbo route is cool none the less, but it really sucks if you don't know how to fix it WHEN it breaks. Its Murphey's law man.
yeah i know what you mean, that is what i will probably do first, nelson tune, cai, exhaust, and maybe cam or shift kit depending
thanks man
Amen Brother you preach the truthQuote:

I personally run a converter from Chris at Circle D and love it.
just buy that F.A.S.T intake with direct NOS injection. you'll have enough motor to get you through second... maybe
what kind of improvements did you see after you installed it?
what could be done for handling? stiffer shocks, wider lower profile tires....any ideas?
I run 2500hd bilstein shocks and hotchkis sway bars. The sway bars were the best 500 spent on the truck.Quote:

I got the idea from someone else. Stiffness was the goal. I am going softer when I need to replace them.Quote:

What truck is this? What have you done to it so far?Quote:

This "exhaust" will kill rear ends transmissions and on non forged engines too much boost will kill the engine.
i was thinking something like this for exhaust
1999 - 2005 Chevrolet / GMC 1500 [17362] - $482.24 : Flowmaster Inc. Exhaust Shop, Love That Sound! CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 V8&orig=17362
or
MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust

Sound and flo.Quote:
