    NP Frontmount turbo pics (out of truck)

    Here you go guys. A little more detailed pics of the GM Truck Turbo Kit, out of the truck.

    Now that I can see it at all angles, I have a few changes to make, but so far so good. No burns, no cracks, wires are ok, etc.

    We test fit it on a 2000 model and it fits just right, so far the kit fits 00-06.
    We'll get it on a 07+ later this week.

    Keep in mind the engine isn't level, so the turbo appears to be leaning forward. When in the truck, the turbo is level.

    Notice the placement of the oxygen O2 sensors. They report to the PCM just like they did in their stock location.

    The kit fits a 4L60E and a 4L80e transmission.

    I haven't test fit the kit on a 4wd yet, but I'm sure it will due to the angle of the drivers side tube.

    Test truck: '05 Avalanche
    6.0/80e/212cam/20's = 8psi = 525hp

    Do you have an estimate on cost yet?


    What other modifications are required (besides fuel pump/injectors/tune)? Looks like you're running longer wires and routing from bottom.

    Do you think this would fit a truck with a body lift? Besides sitting lower in engine bay, I can't see the hot side being a problem. The cold side would obviously need some modification, but that doesn't take as much skill to route. This is something I'm going to be wanting within a few months.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    Ya, estimate only: $3800 for kit. Add injectors tune and pump: $4800.

    ya, wires are included as well, and a new coolant tank, everything you need.

    I'm sure it'll fit a lifted truck, as far as hot pipes are concerned.

    ya, sure is, benefits are no valvetrain noise and solid foundation.

    Why is that, pull the plug and it comes off just fine, you can't go off the pics.
    With that wire off there's plenty of room to remove the plugs, that was one of the requirements when building it. Every bolt and component is accessible.
    one of the small changes I'm making does have to do with the plugs, but more importantly the dipstick.
