Hey all.
I was in the middle of installing my trick turbo kit when i ran into the turbo oil feed issue. I have a 2011 5.3L with the external oil cooler. I Know TrickTurbo makes a nice block, but is it possible to just drill and tap the factory one or is that not recommended? I kind of don't want to have to wait for the new block in the mail (especially this time of year). I was hoping to fire it up tomorrow as i just finished doing the VVT and DOD delete along with a cam and some springs.

 

Yes you can.
When did you receive this kit?

 

Haha, just talked to you through email.
