    I want to turbo charge my 5.3

    Hey I'm new to this site and I have little knowledge about turbos. But I'm getting pissed off with all these spoiled ass kids running around in their 50 thousand dollars cummins thinking they're bad. I have an 05 silverado z71 all I have done is a throttle body spacer and a bully dog gt tuner straight piped and cold air intake. I'd like to add a small turbo that I can spool without tearing my stock 4l60e out. Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

    1) remove the throttle body spacer.
    2) remove the bulldog.
    3) sell both.
    4) get custom tune from a respectable tuner using hptuners or efilive
    5) the 60e won't survive very long with a big heavy truck like your with much modding of any kind. 80e swap is easy.
    6) trick turbo makes a bolt on kit for around 3k/AEM 320lph fuel pump or 340lph other brand/60lbs injectors
    7) have fun smoking the local yokels.

    ^^^^ right there

    In truth you don't have to play their game to beat them. Cam swap, stall, gears, good exhaust, and n2o can awaken a beast quite well.

    True story 150 shot and a stall could probably do it.
