Default Turbo kit?

Who makes a good turbo kit for a 1999 Extended cab Silverado. It's a daily driver and want to have fun with it. I like to get the kit now and put it up. Then I can start building a 5.3 with better rods and pistons and a cam. It has a 4.8 in it now with 435,000 miles on it, I don't think it would like being boosted. Been looking at Huron, but haven't seen many reviews. Thank y'all for info

What is so good about Trickflo? The manifold looks really nice and solid. The intercooler looks well built and like it flows well. Is it American built or Chinese parts? I like the setup they have

Rick is rock solid and won't send anything out until his OCD is satisfied. Super guy!

He has all flavors of stuff. If you're on a budget he can spec out import stuff for you to bring the cost down
