Launching!
Go with truck turbo if you can, I wish I did!!! I did an On3 kit because I got it cheap, but the headaches with the spark plugs, wires, cross over pipe, flex pipe and heat I would rather go with a trick turbo setup. I will say that it’s been almost a year and the turbo has no play, the manifold has no cracks but I did pull it apart this weekend and re weld the turbo downpipe v band, and the wastegate dump due to leaks around the weld. I recommend getting ceramic coatings or do dei titanium heat wrap. Also if you have the tech, make some heat shields for ac lines like I did. Prevents them from swelling and blowing up.

Blower/Headers
Please let me know when you decide to sell your Whipple/ header setup.
I am in the process of looking at turbo kits for my '17 6.2L Whipple Sierra. I like the blower, even though its only been on the truck for 3 mos/1500 miles but I'm a turbo guy thru and thru. I have an LT4 shortblock ID'd, LT4 injectors/HPFP all ready to go. Once I find a decent kit (knock on wood), the blower/headers will be up for sale and the new build will be on...problem is finding a kit is of good quality and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
