turbo to super to bigger super to bigger front mount turbo
well i thought that i would share what i have all done with my truck over the last little while. when i first started comin onto this site i was running a 6.0 with an STS rear mount and a GT67 turbo, then i went and stepped upto a magnacharger mp 112 with a 2.8 inch pulley. with that i ran a best of 14.35 in a 5900 pound truck with 22's and a big stereo, i think that was pretty damn good. last winter i bought a 408 from TRT and patriot heads,then i bought an mp 122 off (superchargedSS) or (moregrips) old blower. i had that on my truck for about 2 weeks and decided it wasnt going to put out enough boost, and then I decided to setup a T76 turbonetics front mount with KBracing manifold. NOW. This is it, the finale! i am now installing a new TVS 2300 jackshaft, cog overdrive on back, 3.2 pulley, 2.8 RIP pulley for racing. moroso intercooler tank, edelbrock heads massaged by Richard at WCCH, long tube headers.
Here is the victim: my 02 escalade EXT, it used to be AWD
Here is the 122 blower after it was all installed for the 2 weeks it was on there. This is when i converted everything to a 2wd, 4l80 and whatnot
this is my truck under the knife as we speak
low compression 408, about 8.8 to 1 right now, but i have new heads on the way thanks to richard from WCCH. victor jr manifold with an edelbrock elbow
installed my turbo and manifold, have to reroute water lines and whatnot. had to take my TB elbow to a machine shop because the bottom holes for the tb didnt line up on the elbow, its a stock ls2 90mm. anyone else have this problem???

You sound like me, I've had almost the same setups on my truck at one time or another,

Looking good, wish I had the patience and cash to try the different setups.
Cleaned up the html code in you original post. Looks like you copied the code from photobucket and then used the insert image icon. When you copy the image code from PB you just paste it into the thread without clicking the image icon.

I think you are going the right direction for your truck buddy. Didn't realize you had so much into her!!
Gonna be a nice *** build once she's all done!
Where did the blower end up going to?
