it comes with the cold side and piping. ill just need to get a Turbo for it. along with fuel and what not. but im not to sure on what turbo to get?

my truck- 2004 gmc sierra ext cab 4x4.

motor - 5.3 ported and polished 706 heads milled .018, ported matched intake manifold. tr-220 cam on a 114 lsa.

tranny- stock 4l80e with a cir-d 2b 3000 stall. " should be 3400 under boost im told"

The exact turbo I'm running would be great on a 5.3. BW T4 S475 with 83 mm turbine. Durable as **** platform built in USA and has tons of available upgrades for the S400 unit depending on how much power you want to put. I wouldn't even consider a chinese turbo given the price on the BWs.

you'll need more than 12psi to get 600 hp out of a 5.3. Take it to 13-14 and have some fun. are you still going to run meth?

Where do you find inexpensive BW turbos? I seem to only find them for $1200 or more.

I guess $800ish ain't bad, but it's t6 not t4. Most t4s I see are smaller or expensive.

The On3 turbos are hard to beat for price under $400 shipped to your door on a turbo capable of 600+hp. They are Chinese and customer support leaves much to be desired.
