Wow that is going to be sweet! I expected it to cost a lot more than you said. This rekindles my interest in a turbo for my 4.6L. I think I would just run one though. I'm looking forward to seeing how yours works out. Also, who is doing your tuning for you?

well no offense to Crash or STS, but I didnt want some slap on kit that everyone will have at some point...kind of like the Roush setup. This is my baby, but at the same time I wanted something totally different and radical. so I may not have the low end power the supercharger does, but if you want to line up with me I can pretty much guarentee, you will be seeing my tailgate get farther and farther away after a couple seconds.... as far as the tuning it will either be Apex-r in tucson or Competition auto in huachuca city AZ

also as far as the cost, it is all about patience I have been planning and shopping and planning some more ever since I got the truck in August...This system would prolly cost 6-8 if I hadnt shopped around

that would be really cool, i always like to see something that nobody else has. But ive got to warn you, you keep documenting everything like this and you will have at least one copycat, and thats me. I want to put some sort of hp booster on my truck, i just havent found what im looking for yet. Research is my friend right now :santa:

I'm going to share my opionion because I can. Unless this turbo makes max boost very low in the rpm range then I can't see it being as good for power. For our trucks right now a twin screw supercharger suits things best.

Now if you can be at full boost by somewhere around 1500-1800 rpm then I would say badass. I would really like to see some specs on like what turbo are you using, intercooler and how much boost.
