The turbo sits on the passenger side up hi, the crossover feeds into that manifold, and then into the turbo.
if you use a single both sides of the engine will blend somewhere to get into the turbo. Our kits work just fine being a single.
But if you want a twin set up we are willing to work with you and build it.

If I recall from one of his previous posts he had bought his truck after being told it was a 5.3L but it ended up being a 4.8L. So I think he already has a 4.8 and not actually looking to buy one. Also shipping a engine block to Kuwait will be more expensive than the engine itself.

Forge the bottom-end (piston, rods and crank) and just do a single turbo. Single's are good for up to 900-1000rwhp. If your set on twins then you'll be breaking new ground with a 4.8 but there's a few guys on here that are running twins most notably parish. You can look at how he plummed his turbo's and go from there. But for ease of install/fabrication I'd suggest a single and go with Trick turbo's. In any case good luck and hope you kick that Z06's ***! I figure you'll need around 700rwhp for that in a RCSB.

yes bro i have a 4.8 engine my agent told me its 5.3 i already spoke with them but they didnt repley me back so screw them ill stay withmy engine.
but the aluminium stock block ( 4.8) wont hold 500 hp + thats why i wanna have a diffrent block iron one . ok guyz
i found a used iron block 5.7 block and its cheep how about buying it and adding j.e pistons and crower connecting rods and a crank !!!??? then ill order the trick single turbo ??? what do u think ?? offcourse the feul system is easy to do 2 feul pump and 720 injectors and a fuel regulator will be enough for boost 14.7(1 BAR) AS HIGH AND FOR LOW BOOST 8 .
the heads im gonna porst them and add a cam with valves

god i love this forum
ok so my block is all fine and good so i only have to order a stroker kit what do u think nightrunner which stroker kit will be good a compression ratio of 8 will be good .
i need a nice stroker kit that will let me gain more torque and run high boost safe which stroker kit should i go for guyz???

since you are staying with a 4.8 you wont be buying a stroker kit, you will be buying a forged rotating assembly (pistons, rings, connecting rods, crank)
also going with a 4.8 you are going to have expensive custom pistons and rods
IMO you need a bit more than 8:1 compression, id say 8.5:1 minumum more like 9:1
a stroker kit means you are increasing the stroke, if you are wanting to do that, it will no longer be a 4.8

Nightrunner is right, your 4.8 is iron and stroking it will change the displacement. Also, from what I've learned, you can boost(turbo or supercharge) any engine and get good results but engine's with a wider bore and shorter stroke can handle and like boost alot better than engine's with a longer stroke such as any stroker kit/engine. Also remember if you stroke your engine there is a bigger likelyhood that you'll be rebuilding it every 50,000 miles and start to burn oil.
I really like that Idea of buying that iron block 5.7 and the trick turbo. 14psi on that will give him close to 600rwhp and if he get's a forged rotating assembly he can boost that thing up to 20 and be making 750+ "safely" which should take care of that Z06 problem. That's my vote at least.
