not too much info can be found on people lowering and turbo'ing a gas engine 2500HD. it was hard for me to find any info in regards on how people have fitted anything onto the 2500hd vs the 1500 framing

its also getting shaved: all four doors / tailgate and third brake lamp.... still thinking what else and how far i want to go with this

That looks awesome. I love the stance and the flat black (and the hidden cooler). How did you get the drop? Can I get a side photo? I have my torsions relaxed as can be and drop shackles in the rear. It does not look that cool though.

Do you have any more photos of the build-up/turbo install?

Totally awesome.

its got the djm kit with drop keys added to get the front even lower, surprising its runs really good except if you hit a dip ofcourse and it hits pretty hard since its pretty much on the front bumpstops. and its got A/T tires since it used to be lifted before i bought it, bought some stock wheels and swapped the tires over cuz the other wheels stuck out.

its got the kb manifold and crossover, everything else i made and pieced together the intercooler in/out actually both point to the rear alot less bends than any other kit would have. fan shroud i made and has two 16" fans. downpipe is 3.5" all the way back to a 3.5" magnaflow dumped before the axle. now remember im in CA, and i live down the street from a police station.... theyve been behind me beside me etc and not even a double take

Don't you think an intake would be a great idea. It seems you aren't trying to pull every single last 10th from your set up(although they are radical) but seems foolish to have all those goodies under the hood then suck the hottest air possible.

im not trying to pull every bit of power, i have Z06 cam i didnt even both to install anymore. i did the turbo for giggles, what are you refering to as an intake (manifold or filter piping)... im not going to do an intake manifold as i dont want to lose tq, this truck is not being built for all out power to race....


this is for all out power, just havent taken to the track:
