Default Ls powered c10 5.3 -future turbo swap help needed

Here is my truck I converted in 09 I drive it most weekend but now I'm going to put a turbo in it the 5.3 is out of a 2000 Tahoe has a 4l60e question is I want it to still drive it without it being to radical I understand I will have to change injectors and down the track change the cam and other components but at the moment want to keep the engine stock until its time for the other mods are needed has anyone got a 73-87 c10 Ls turbo on here I'm running shorty headers on it now can I still keep the driver side one ? They are silverado summit truck headers factory fit headers what size turbo ? Waste gate ? Extra what size down pipe.? Can I use most of the available 99-04 silverado turbo kit on my truck ? Does anyone have parts forsale like the log manifold ..? Thanks
