Need some turbo insight...apologize up front for any redundant questions

[pnhigg]

i ran a T56 5.3 setup, ran well but FYI the manual route is going to be a rough and expensive path.....it may seem cheap at the moment but sure isnt

also have to look at what you want from truck in long term as for power. a 70mm may be fine today but how will it be tomorrow when your bored?

I have had the 5.3/T56 combo in the truck for about 5 years...so that money is already spent. LOL It was pricey, but I still like the manual. Plan was always to add turbo later, but had kids, bought a farm, you know, became an adult, so am just now getting back to working on the truck.

thanks for the help

Thanks. This helps a lot. I like the looks of what you have, and the only thing wrong with your hot side plumbing is that it isn't on my truck. haha.
thanks again

stock trans wont hold big power, stock hydraulics wont hold aftermarket clutches, twin disk clutches arent cheap...i spent more on the manual boosted setup then i could ever imagine

i sold my old kit to a member on here

Might as well say $1 per horse for a clutch.. and that's playing on the cheap side... not to mention builting the trans its self

I gotcha, I was thinking differently on the initial post.
thanks

Between clutches, trans and trans parts, cross member, pedals, hydraulics, slaves and etc I have around 12,000 wrapped up

When I finally seen my firewall torn between the master cylinder and wiring harness hole is when I called it quits

Lordy...That is a lot of money at my house. I can understand going a different direction.

also remember clutches are rated for cars, when using them in a truck allow yourself alot of room for the weight. If you find a 1000 rated clutch id say your fine till about 700...thats one of the clutches that i used....Spec twin disk rated for 1000...died when i went over 800

That is generally what I have had in mind. this set up won't get beat up constantly...only occasional abuse.
Driveline isn't stock, but isn't built for 1000hp either

Thanks again for the help
