Not even running and I'm thinking about a turbo

[Defunct SO]

I'm close to having my '05 5.3 swapped and running in my '92. I was planning on keeping it N/A for a while, but already thinking about the turbo. I would have to take the 110lsa cam out and get bigger injectors, but thats no big deal.
I have almost everything I would need to do the turbo, except the turbo. I was thinking about putting it in the bed, not under the bed. I'm thinking a 3800lb truck with 3:08s, 3200 stall, intercooled turbo at about 10psi would be easy mid- high 11's in the 1/4. ???
What does everyone think? It would have the "holy crap" factor with the turbo in the bed.

Two words:

Now is definitely time to do it before the radiator gets installed. So much for being the fastest 5.3L truck, huh. If you have the money to do it, git-r-dun&#33; Now that the install has slowed down from our earlier feverous pace you can start thinking about doing the turbo and just bypass the NA mode. Just think, you&#39;ll only be out the funds one time instead of twice going NA then boosted. DO TURBO&#33; I&#39;d like to turbo mine some day in the future but that will be in a few years.

I think a guy who installs turbos for a living should show his stuff&#33; I love turbos and don&#39;t ever want to be without one. Go for it&#33;

yes, I&#39;m Billy.
The more I think about it, the more I&#39;m thinking turbo. Hell, I may go in tomorrow and flip the manifolds and think about a single front mount turbo too.
Anybody want a 110lsa cam?
