That's about a good start price to get you going.....more after that.
What are you looking to accomplish by installing a turbo?

To make my truck have more get up and go. It has 33inch tires and 3.55 gears, a cold air intake, high flow exhaust, fastman throttlebody, and a sct tuner tuned by hemifever, so if there is any thing i can do to make 50 more hp for less then $1000, please let me know cause I cant afford to do a turbo.

You would be better off saving another 500 bucks, and re-gearing the truck.

Yeah. I was thinking about regearing to 4.56s gears also or doing the 08 intake manifold coversion from airram but I don't know which one will give me more noticeable power.

Gears. That will give you what you want. Cheaper than trying to turbo. Much cheaper.

Yeah, holy **** you need to regear that thing even if you were only to go to 3.92's...I'd be amazed if it got out of it's own way with tires that tall and gears that mild. The manifold conversion won't bring much unless you combine it with cams swap (if you could find or afford a set of HO cams or had customs ground).

What gears do you recommend? Nitro or yukons and do I just need the normal kit or the master kit?

Yukons are really good. Probably just the normal kit. If you haven't done it before though, having someone that knows what they are doing is a VERY good idea. Doing it wrong can get REALLY expensive.

And the install kits. (shims, possibly bearings, pinion nut, crush sleeve?)
