Default Turbo Build Threads

Hey i have been trolling around on here absorbing as much info as i can on boosting my 5.3l Silverado, but i was wondering if there are any good complete build threads i can read.

Thanks for the help!!

Best advice I can give you is to just read all the threads and take what you need from each one. Odds are if you have a question about something, it's prob already been answered on here, so spend a little time searching for it.

You can also start a build thread and post questions as you go.

Here is my build thread. I did a flipped manifold set up and routed my hot pipes a little different than most but it works. http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/force...ld-thread.html

Would have never thought to mock up the hot pipes from pvc like that, awesome idea.

Here is my build thread, used the same flipped manifold idea as o2camaross with a slightly different hot pipe approach.

Pretty detailed parts list on page 9 with parts I used, where I got them from, rough pricing on the large items, etc

Thanks guys!

I just wanted to kind of compile a few builds to get ideas from. I already have a lot of knowledge from trolling for a while but want to read full builds.

There's just a little too much involved for a person to document a full build from N/A to complete running turbo setup.

Maybe you should be the first one to try it.
