What Happens If You Turbo a 5.3L Yukon With No Other Mods? Lets Find Out! (Uncle Rob Hits the Dyno)

[@Stapleton42]

2023 Update: We have a new bigger turbo and a forged 6.0 in process for Uncle Rob! This time we will have someone more reputable and trustworthy doing the tuning on it. 800 wheel is the goal! If you're new here you can see the whole build progression on the "Uncle Rob" playlist!

[@Boycott_Wendys]

I can't wait to see it. I've never owned anything this new, my chevy pickup is '89 and my Blazer is '83.

[@darrinsweeney3414]

Love how everyone is around high HP cars all the time and a small HP turbo yukon gets everybody acting like kids. Thats whats its about, if you're not having fun doing it then whats the purpose

[@Stapleton42]

This. 100% 😂

[@jimkaray]

That's because they have no worries if it blows up and its more fun if it does!

[@BucksSuperStereoWorld]

Absolutely! That's what I say ALL the time. I have two turbo Hondas...a 709 whp fully built LSVTEC GT3582 Civic coupe and a 500 whp CG1 Accord with a JDM J32A and six speed manual swap with a GT3582R turbo. I turned every nut and bolt on them both. I also painted both of them in my backyard. It's all about what you love to do and having fun, or what's the point?

[@MrPland1992]

@@fr4gg3rd00d it’s more of an example as to how quickly it f’s your truck up without the MAF. I do LS swaps and wiring harnesses for a living, if you bought a rebuilt transmission this morning from me and it burned up after a 20 minute drive with no maf the same day then that sucks for you 🤷‍♂️.
