I figured it was a sort of custom thing. I'll make the necessary change. Lol.

Boost? Other drive line mods? What motor? Mods to motor. Usual stuff.

This is exactly where I was 6 months ago. I did my homework and read tons of reviews. I called Rick and ordered the stage 2 kit. Everything was bolt on and flawless. I called and txt Rick over theweekend build and he answered everything. The kit comes with everything!

Bone stock ecsb 09 4x4 5.3

Pull the trucking the garage sat morning, Sunday night drive ur turbo truck around the block

No cam, no injectors, no intake, just turbo and tune

Thanks for all of the info guys! I will definitely be going with the TPP kit now. Much cheaper and better reviews!! And Rick seems like a good salesman/customer service rep

Motor is an L92 VVT 6.2, drivetrain is stock AWD 6l80e, boost level is 4.5lbs on the gate 6.5-7lbs on the first setting and 9.5-10lbs on the second setting. It will spike to 11.00 on the shift, but falls back immediately. Alky Control meth kit on very low setting. The tune is very conservative, and the fuel system is stock with 80lb FAST injectors.

I had the STS on my truck with the 5.3.. it was fun.. but now i have a front mount with a 6.0.. way more fun!

Front mount with stock exhaust is very very sneaky

Also, get ready for an 4L80E transmission swap..
