Killer setup! That's a sharp looking Dak too. Did you run into any big problems with the install? And are those Granite Alloy GA4.5 rims?

 

Nice truck man! Its a sick setup. Those rims are sexy!

 

Thank you, those are GA 4.5s wrapped in Nitto 4220S tires.

Alot of moving around and fabrication went into the blower install. I had a local hydrolic services shop fabricate A/C lines, cruise control module had to be relocated, air temp sensor had to be relocaed, I had to trim my radiator overflow bottle, run new heater hoses, etc.

Is this turbo to small for our truck? And what all would need to be done to make it work? It seems that all the parts you guys have mentioned that are missing from the STS setup is included. It comes with the boost controller, oil lines, intercooler, blowoff valve, etc.

 

You would need custom made headers to spool the turbo, probably a flanging kit for taping the oil sender and drain pan. The big thing is a way to tune it. I use an SCT 9550 Tuner.

 

Is the turbo itself big enough for our 4.7? If so, that seems like a pretty damn good price.

 

I honestly don't know how much boost you would get out of a turbo that small. Plus the add says it has to be rebuilt at 20,000 miles. Most of the 5.9 guys I know running blowers make it to around 100,000 before rebuild.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm not going to purchase one (yet) myself, but I want to have all my ducks in a row before I do so.

 

Awesome, sounds good.
