that kit is amazing. in responce to your pm about what turbo to run.. i dont know much about the gt turbos so i can't say on those. of the turbos i know something about i think a t70 or t72 with a .83 ar would be a moderate turbo, not too big or small. i would skip the ball bearings. dont get stuck too long on picking just the right turbo. they aren't all that expensive and you can sell your old one for at least half of what you pay for it so trying a few diferent turbos wont cost you all that much. if you go with something like i got(gts70, 850fwhp, really probably ~600max rwhp on a 5.3) you can upgrade all the way to a gts76 wich is rated at 1150fwhp and will bolt right in place of the gts70.

I went with a precision GTQ72 on mine with a .96 A/R and it is capable of 900 fwhp. It uses a 3" v band on the exhaust side. I havent been able to get on it yet, but under very conservative driving it doesnt seem like it will take much to get it spooling, especially with the 2800 stall.

Thanks grippy... I almost pulled the trigger on an MP122... but finally got the turbo kit I dreamed about but could not afford at the time. Finally had some good luck roll my way Now I just gotta keep the wick turned down until I have money to upgrade the motor and tranny...
