Steps to going turbo questions
So after a ton of looking around I've decided that turbo is the way to go for my truck. Its pretty much stock now and I want to take steps to building the truck up as Im not made of money.
From what I've read I need to upgrade the transmission and the rear end 1st. Im going to do the transmission 1st. Here are my questions:
1. Do I need anything else besides this stuff? :
CORVETTE SERVO 700R4 4L60 4L60E W/ LONGER PIN
4L60E 1-2 ALUMINUM ACCUMULATOR PISTON SMALL PIN 4L65E
4L60E FORWARD CLUTCH ALUMINUM ACCUMULATOR PISTON 4L65E
700R4 4L60E BILLET 4TH SERVO CAMARO CORVETTE LS1 LT1 R4
TRANSGO 4L60E HD2 SHIFT KIT 93-UP TRANSMISSION LS1 LT1
TRANSGO 4L60E SEPARATOR PLATE 96UP TRANSMISSION LS1 LT1
2. Torque Converter? Do I need one or can I go stock? If I do need one...what stall do I get?
3. Trans cooler? What size and brand would be best?
Thanks in advance. Wanting to order all my trans parts today.

Saying you're gonna go low boost and resisting the little **** (which will taunt you -- maybe even call your cell phone) is a different story. Just look at me... Just gonna do a little turbo kit on my otherwise stock truck... Sometimes I still look at my truck and say "What the hell happened here?"
At least I've kept the original seats...
5psi is livable for a while. Just don't put in a boost controller (so you have to change the wastegate spring to get more boost), and then put a note on the wastegate that says: "Did you put in a built tranny?" lol
B&M makes great coolers. Honestly, you want the biggest, coldest cooler you can get and fit like Quik said. Mine is a derale double core with an electric fan...

stock trans are ticking time bombs. i killed one with a stock 5.3, killed another one on spray with a 5.3. list goes on
some will say FLT, some will say Rossler, some know locals that build trans. either direction you go. make sure you get the strongest trans your wallet can afford. cheaping out on a trans is like ordering the Small value meal when you knew you wanted the supersize.
