Default Want to boost my truck

Had my truck for a while and have been thinking of adding some boost to it. I have not done any custom turbo setups or had any previous knowledge about them so I figure a kit would be my best bet. I'm just curious what other guys are running for kits and what their experiences are with their kits. I know trick and STS have one. I found a kit made by on3 that seems reasonable but didn't know for sure. Here is a link

1999-06 Chevy/GMC 1500/2500 Truck Turbo System | On3Performance

So any help would be great appreciated. My truck has the 5.3 and is 4x4

The name these days are trick, KB racing, and On3. Sts is a little dated these days. On3 Ive read is an ok kit, sometimes it has fitement issues. Trick and KB have zero fitement issues as far as Ive head and customer service is great. Rick who owns trick is regularly on the forum and so is Kyle who owns KB. I own a KB kit and kyle answered any questions I had no problem. Both can build you whatever your wallet can handle

Thank you for the input. I see from your sig you are running a kit on a 4x4. Did the KB kit have any trouble around it? Did you install your kit yourself?

My kit was originally built on 4x4 (my truck) and fits great. Momma says that if I can't say anything nice to not say anything at all so I'll say that former On3 customers have been good business for me! lol.

I build my kits to what ever specs you want so let me know what you need and what I can do for you!

You say on3 turbo. Do you mean just the turbos or their whole kit is decent?
