Default advice for turbo 5.3 on Suburban

I have a turbo I5 Chev Colorado and my wife has a 07 Suburban and want to charge that as well, staying stock on engine just want it in low mid 400 range so I don't have to rebuild the tranny right away, I like the looks of the trick stage 2 maybe 3? any advice is appreciated.

My advice for putting a turbo onto a Suburban is to put a supercharger instead. It weighs a little more than your Colorado, you know, and would respond better to a supercharger.

Stage 2 Or 3 is a good set up for your goals.

Id look into running a 62-67mm if you go turbo. Will spool quick and easily get you in your power range. Should pull almost like a supercharger.
