the turbo might be a bit big for your app but im not sure. but it should bolt up to your truck, the only 2 things i would wonder about is the exhaust flange and maybe you might a different piece or 2 of tubing from the turbo to the engine. Call STS and see what they say.

There will be things you have to change, but its a good start. The GTS 76 is way big for a stock 5.3 and you dont need 2 wastegates. Also, the splitter for the exhast is for 6.0 and up, not 5.3. That is one of the things you will have to change. Either way, if it stays cheap, its a deal no matter what. You would have no problem selling the turbo and having more than enough to get a different one.

If you end up winning it and want to swap turbos, shoot me a PM. I have a polished GT67 sitting on the shelf and would be interested in the 76GTS.
