Here's the situation I have a 04 silverado 1500hd 6.0 4l80e 14 bolt 4wd with 3.73 gears lifted about 8 " on 22x14s on 35s truck is fbo right with long tube headers and hp tuners now been wanting to turbo my truck so I can tow with it every once in a while what would you guys recommend i use to pull my 33 ft bumper pull about 10-11k and truck felt like it needed more power sometimes and now I sold it and bought a new 36 ft 5th wheel weighs about 12k and now thinking of going fi. I don't really want to buy a diesel being that I don't want a 1k dollar payment that's why i want to try and get this one to tow better it already has helper bags etc.
Sometimes I tow my other truck around so any extra power would help. Thanks in advance

 

it can be done with a turbo, but you'd be better off going with a tvs, whipple, or lysom type of blower. sweet trucks by the way.

 

Yeah that's what I've read that everyone usually runs magnachargers on truck for towing since it's power on tap anyone know of a good deal on a magnacharger?

 

If you go turbo go with a big turbines hat way it can get the heat out and won't spool up in the driveway LOL.

 

Haha that's funny yeah that's what I've read that I should go with a bigger exhaust housing so that way it won't spool trying to leaving from every stop light

 

One of Tricks cast t6 manifolds and a box stock Borg s475 would get it done. Your gonna need a good meth kit also. Boost controller set to around 6-8psi should tow pretty well.

 

Why will he "need" a good meth kit? 6-8psi intercooled should be just fine.

 

Long pulls while towing^^^^^^

 

Exactly the reason I wouldn't want one. Run out and you're fucked.

 

Meth or turbo Jake?
