Default 4.8 Turbo DD Towing

I am getting more and more interested in adding a turbo to my 07Classic 4wd truck with a 4.8. My concern is its a dd that I need to maintain drivability, low maintenance and occasionally tow a boat/travel trailer. I know there are going to be the 6.0 responses but I am interested in using what I have, a 109k 4.8 and at least the short block.


Let the suggestions commense!

Remember those this memorial day that gave the ultimate sacrafice for our liberties.

You could do it if you wanted too, just buy a quality turbo kit/fuel system.

Then you'll need a 4L80e to back it up and ditch the factory G80 that will grenade on you.

Put something like a bw366 or something on it and let her eat.

I think the only way you can go wrong is if you don't hede the advice for the 4L80e.
