I am new to this site and was needing some advice/tips on putting the right turbo in My Daily driver 2004 silverado single cab 5.3L bone stock.. Also Do i need to upgrade transmisson, stall, gears etc... Thanks!

 

What are your goals in terms of power?

 

Would like to gain an extra 50-100 HP if possible?

 

How much cash are you realistically looking to spend?

 

You can do that easily with a T70 or smaller turbo, and your basic KB or Trick front mount kit. Intercooled is best but you probably don't even need to go that far. Bigger injectors and pump and you're there. Your stock trans will probably be okay with that much power, but of course its life will be a shortened some. Stall and gears are personal preference. For a DD I'd leave them stock IMO.

 

if possible lol....you will blow that goal out of the water pretty quick haha... youre gonna want more after you start so i would just go ahead and get a trick or kb t76 intercooled kit and leave it on low boost while saving up for a tranny.

 

you can gain over 50 just by caming it with boltons and a tune.

 

I would probably do what has already been said.
If I had the money, I would get a KB turbo kit (non Intercooled) for now and run low boost / conservative tune until you can get a built trans.

Turbo kit can be had for $2500 on up depending on upgrades etc..

You will also need upgraded fuel system like stated.

You need to start saving up for a built 4l60e trans at least and they run anywhere from around $1900 - $3000 depending on company and series. Might be a little lower or higher in price too it varies..
