Default turbo 4.3 sonoma project.

first real paying customer, this is the exact kind of work i would like to do out of my garage. custom one off turbo kits for anything under the sun.

03 sonoma with a 4.3 auto. plan is to do a low mount 58mm precision turbo. intercooler and meth. meth is partly to help supply fuel. the truck dynoed 180rwhp on a mustang dyno which seems pretty high for a stock 4.3. goal is 300rwhp on that same dyno while driving like stock. tuning with hp tuners and an lc1. waiting on the intercooler or turbo to really get started, both are on the way.
