K1500 Turbo ?

[buckshot85]

Yeh, I'd love to get maggie but I don't want to go overkill on this truck. I don't plan to have it for ever, I already have way too much money in it but o well

dont we all thats what makes it fun and something to be proud of though. hell i'm wanting to boost one to trade for a already lifted cj7 .

it says 2.0-3.5L displacement but on the homepage said it would fit a k1500 . i wasn't sure if that was for the turbo or the motor displacement.

Maybe if you would go with one turbo for each half of the engine

Turbos are cool but this one seems to be not so suitable for a K1500.

Depends on what you are going to do with the truck.

Very true. A buddy I work with debated a turbo vs. supercharger for months before he decided to get a turbo for his 07 Stang GT, should be installed next week.

S/C = lower in the power band right?
Turbo = higher in the power band?

A supercharger can look cool but the turbo uses some energy that would be just wasted while the supercharger requires a small amount of power from the engine itself to run. But since the supercharger doesn't suffer a phenomenon similar to the turbo-lag it's an advantage...

It all depends, being that a supercharger is based off of the RPM of the engine it really depends on your setup. Roots and Screw type blowers can create a great amount of power lower in the powerband, where as centrifugal type superchargers like the RPM.

A proper setup on a modern V8 should have little to no turbo lag.

He's putting it on himself next week on our week off and I think he found a pretty good guy to tune it in Calgary as well. When it's done I'll try and get a video of it driving. Here's some pics. He's lowered it, HID's, header back magnaflow exhaust (sounds unreal). That's all i know of. This is it when he got it in the summer.

Sure. With all those VGT stuff and other newer features in turbo designs they're even better.
