What would I run??? Turbo... Magnacharger
Hey guys, I have a crucal decision to make....A sidemount Magnacharger...or a Rear Mount turbo kit.
I have found AWESOME deals on both, and only have a day or two to decide.
I am wondering what my truck would run with either set-up?
I have a 2001 ECSB Z-71 with a full AIRAID intake and a Corsa sport muffler dumped before the axle.
Right now I am leaning more towards the side mount magnacharger because I think the turbo kit is "home-built" but looks exactly like the STS setup. What do you guys think??

Why do you want to go with the side mount? The Magnacharger Radix is a great kit. Looks factory, and Magnuson's customer service is second to none. If you want, I can pm you a great place to get one. I just put 4,000 miles on mine without one problem.

If I could, I would go with a RADIX or STS, but price is the biggest factor as far as my decision goes. I also need a Nelson tune to go along with it so thats another $500
