I am not much into the tuning side of things yet. but HP has listed the Colorado for sometime now in their line up 04-08.
I agree with Mark, one of these would surpise alot of unexpecting poeple. LOL These trucks are light compared the fullsize.
With the hood closed the only thing that says turbo is the large intercooler behind the front grill.

Just keeping with the truck theme, we will be coming out with several new items for these trucks.

 

cant wait to hear the dyno numbers

 

I too agree w/ Mark. I don't know what they weigh, but they're a lil bigger than the S10's they replaced. Everybody loved throwin v8's in those. Now, u leveled the playin field w/ the Colorado. I've seen a few done up right in the looks dept. & w/ your turbo, it'd be impressive.

I'm excited u brought this kit out Rick, & I don't even own 1. Way to go!
Now if someone can test out what the I-5 can hold up to powerwise.

 

looks nice

 

WEll seeing how I do not have a Colorado to dyno of my own yet, I would be willing to work a deal for a cutomer who wants one. I have look up to 200 miles around me, and 15K for a used truck is a little sickening.

The final hp will really depend on who is doning the tuning, and how hard you are pushing the system.. I think 99% of the customer will be jsut fine with the t3/t4 we have chosen for this application.

 

I have a buddy who did a LS2 swap into a Colorodo and it took damn near 2 years to complete. His goal was to have all stock gauges to work and pass emissions. This thing had computer and electrical gremlins galore. It was just finished and he is picking it up in the next few days.

My point is....this is a WAY better option.

 

my brothers is about to be ready as well.what took longer was the harness and the tranny. went ahead and got a built tranny before installing the 5.3 ho motor.

 

So now we a turbo kit for a Colorado that has a 5.3 in it. lol

 

Looks nice! but now your gona make it look like I'm copying you!, My little brother has a 07 Colorado he has been after me to build a turbo kit for a while now.

FWIW, I believe when I weighed his truck, it was about 4200lbs, but it is a 07, I5 3.7L, 4x4, CC.

 

I will save you a bunch of time, just buy one and your good to go. Just tell him to drop it off, and come back in 2 hours. You will be the hero, and magician at the same time.
Thanks, Its going to interesting what this kit can do. so reg cab 2 wheel, would be in the mid3K,, yea that would whoop up on so people...
