TURBO GMC TOWING SOUNDS INSANE!!!!!

[@truckguyjoe]

I just love the fact that so many unsuspecting drivers on the road have no clue they're in traffic at a stoplight next to a truck that runs low 12's with ease.

I should have bought a 3/4 ton truck when I bought my Silverado 1500 in 2015. The 6.0 gasser is a much more durable engine than my L83. Turbo sounds great. Bet it pulls like a beast too.

Thanks, the 6.0 is amazing but the LT's have a lot of potential! You just have to make a few changes!

[@taylorh3930]

Good thing you got a 15 Silverado 1500 I had a 12 and a 13 Silverado with the piece of shit 5.3 they were gutless oil and gas hogs 14mpg highway and that imperial mpg as I live in Canada. My 08 2500HD 6.0 was way better got 20 mpg at 110km/h once again imperial mpg as I live in Canada and it pulled like a diesel a turbo would of made it even better for the fraction of the cost of a stupid over priced diesel.

What size pipe is your cold side? 2.5 or 3”? I’m starting my 8.1l with a gt45 that’s going to be rear mounted. Have pretty much everything at this point I just need to install it. Between your detailed videos and some others I feel like I’ve got a good handle on everything. So thank you for posting vids like these. Grabbed a gear scavenge pump with two check valves to prevent oil draining via the feed and the return. Also going to run a delayed relay on the pump so when I turn the car off it runs for like 10 seconds just to relieve pressure in the feed and help with drainage. Everything is an fittings and braided hose. Grabbed a cx racing t4 flange with 44mm wastegate flange welded on it. Just gotta get some mandrel 4” 90s so I can run the exhaust down and out the side. The short exhaust should make the wee wees pretty loud. AEM wideband and boost gauge. Hp tuners for the tune. I’m hopefully starting this weekend if it doesn’t rain. At least hoping hot side it’ll just be blowing to nothing until I get the cold all mocked up with mounts.

[@SuperNoticer]

Did you get it done?

[@michaelburns1760]

When the truck goes up I want to be the next owner, I always loved those 03-07 but never would have thought about a turbo. What kind of torque numbers is it making?

[@slow_restoration]

It would get the job done a little faster! I probably wouldn't go quite as aggressive, but yes it would work.

[@bryanroupe8646]

How did you do the oil system for the turbo on your truck ? I have a turbo fox body I built last year and now I want to do my 351 powered 88 Ranger me and my father built about 6 years ago. I want to do a rear mount. You should do a run down on the turbo kit!

Very nice truck! Other than the cam, did you run this turbo kit on a stock motor? I’m looking to put an STS turbo kit on my truck, but I’m concerned about the stock pistons and ring gap.

[@slow_restoration]

Thanks! Yes, all stock except the cam, springs, and push rods. The heads have never been off. The pistons are fine, however the ring gap is any ones guess. I've seen them all over the place in a stock engine. I took a chance, but the only way to be sure is to check them.

[@magma5.o_h191]

Damn nice truck. Currently a ram guy but it's now becoming a show build so thinking of making my 07 tahoe the long trip tow vehicle. Figure with the 5.3 I could run 400hp 450 or so tq it wouldnt be a bother. I would love to do it to my hemi but the stock pistons HATE boost

[@slow_restoration]

You should be able to make that work! A 2500 Suburban or Yukon would definitely tow better and they have the 6.0 and 80E trans, but if you already have the Tahoe, use it.

[@erybellabruner7446]

That truck must have some money put into it

It's a STS Turbo kit but before Holley took them over. No dyno numbers yet! Soon!

[@lukerogers4368]

Did you install the turbo your self or did a shop and how much did it cost?

[@slow_restoration]

I did install this my self! STS Turbo doesn't sell this kit anymore. You could do a front mount kit similar to this for $2,500-$4,500 depending on the options you pick. You would also have to do a fuel system and tuning.

[@Mijaycapri79]

How long have you had the turbo installed? How many miles on the truck? I want to turbo my 5.3 Tahoe so it tows a little better.

I've had it installed for about 5 years, the truck has 89,000 on it now. A turbo maybe drastic just to tow a little better but they sure are fun!

[@slow_restoration]

It is reliable! If you're not pushing it to the limits and use quality parts it's a solid setup.

[@dgardner7474]

What size turbo piping did you use on the cold side? I was looking at 2.5”. It just seemed to be the most common and not so big that it would make routing difficult. I was planning to use an intercooler also as I’ll be running it in Arizona and every little bit of cooling should help reliability. Do you use an intercooler?

[@slow_restoration]

2.5 is fine, that's what's on mine. Yes I am running a intercooler, always a good idea.

[@dgardner7474]

Where did you fine intercooler piping? Everything I’m finding is only 2’ long online. I can get a section locally that’s 21’ long to make intercooler piping. It’s 1/8” thick vs the standard 1/16”. Do you know if these can be mandrel bent without crumpling or tearing? What did you use? TIA

And I REALLY want ( obsessed with) a rear mounted Turbo. Needless to say I pushed like save And subscribe before you even started it up, endless grinning and kinda giggling like a sixteen-year-old boy snuck in the back door of a strip club after you did.

[@Typhlosion100]

How well does it pull loaded? Are you almost always under boost with a load?

[@slow_restoration]

It pulls extremely well! Boost is like anything it depends on how much throttle but not always in boost. If you're easy on it you could probably keep it out of boost all together. If you're on it hard then yes. Under normal towing it goes in and out. I'll have to make another video of the boost gauge.
