Some progress shots from today with the truck fully stripped down for inspection and analysis. There isnt a whole lot of room on these trucks for turbochargers in the engine bay without seriously increasing the underbonnet heat loading, which in a Tow/Haul situation might not be the best solution
After assessing all of our options we have decided to place the intercooler low behind the front lip on a 45 degree angle with a specific air duct, so that it gets plenty of frontal air flow but doesnt block the trucks basic cooling system

FYI, I live in Arizona... where my truck, with its 12X24X4 intercooler in front of the radiator, has seen 118F. With a 180F t-stat and the A/C on my coolant temps never go above about 205F... in stop and go city traffic. I too was worried about overheating the engine... but it didn't happen.

Thats how I mounted mine. By the way, looks like someone stole your transfer case and front drive shafts

Lingenfelter had a twin turbo system with a 427 for 6.0 escalades/denalis/etc. It was like $45k though...ouch. The 427 and twins made 700hp (I think that was at the wheels) and pushed their test escalade EXT to 12.5 in the quarter...
I dont think they offer it anymore and I dont know a whole lot about it.
BTW, setup is looking nice. Keeping it under $10k should make it a great option instead of stroker motors.
Edit: They still offer it at $56k + other upgrades ($63k optioned out) and it was 700hp at 5,200rpm with a 7.0L aluminum 427 block. Way over priced IMO.
