Contact Jose and Jason @forcedinductions.com
They are wholesalers, rebuilders, and modifers of turbos and are really helpful.

not that it matters, but my radix has 60K miles on it. The 5.3 died for other reasons. The 6.0 has had the blower on it for 55K miles.

What is funny is i've made a big circle in the past 1.5 years:
-started out 4.8 NA
-then radix
-then maxed out radix pretty much and 4.8 went boom
-6.0 custom turbo, boom
-6.0 custom turbo, head gasket
-got burnt out
-6.0 high comp NA
-Now I wish the compression wasn't so high so I could buy a used Radix and put on it.

The cycle never ends.

I bet you would make a huge leap in power with just 5psi on that motor.
