Wanting a turbo for my 2008 5.7. anyone know of a kit? i noticed STS turbo doesnt offer a kit for the 2008 model. any help?
Thanks

 

Lots of upgrades involved with getting a turbo. Look at spending around 7-10k.

 

plenty of money from deployment. i was reading that if i only push up to 7psi i should need TOO much further modification. is that true

 

i wouldnt push more than about 3-4psi on a stock engine. procharger also makes a bolt up kit with tuning. but befor any of that we need to know what other mods you have already done. Even with the procharger being a complete kit you wont see its full potential with out some proper supporting mods. Cam, headers, exhaust, throttle body, torque converter, valve body, and gears. not to mention if you want to run more psi.

K&N CAI, Airaid TBS, 180 T-stat, JET stage II chip

 

well you have a good start with the cai and 180 tstat. but the tbs is useless and probley hurting you a little. also not to sure on the jet stage II never heard of them. But i would first look into some of the other mods i mentioned first then after those a turbo.

 

Any specific brands to shop for? Fairly new to the whole modification thing.
Some website links to the parts you mentioned would be GREAT.
Thanks

 

you can do a seach on here to find out about each mod more in depth. Also check out the diy section will give you alot of ideas as well as usefull info on parts needed, types/brands and how to. But the question that needs to be asked is what are you trying to achieve? What is you truck used for/ going to be used for? Is it a daily driver or just a weekend warrior? Are you wanting to build a badass truck to take down the track?

As for parts and brands again all depends on what you looking for. a good place to find stuff is 3rd strike performace. Also when it come to performace and cams check out inertia motor sports.

Mainly "weekend warrior". It's not my commuter vehicle.
