My turbo build has started...
I have been contemplating for awhile on building a 6.0 front mount turbo instead of throwing the sauce on my old motor and I finally am starting my build. Sold my old motor so it's on like donkey kong now!!
Here's what I have so far and what I plan on doing with it...
'04 LQ4 6.0, Scat rods, Diamond Pistons
Stock 317 Heads with Gold Duals
LS6 Intake
Motorton 60lb Inj
Fast Rails
Stock 6.0 Truck Exhaust Manifolds
BBK TB
SD Tune
EPP Turbo Cam
EPP Pushrods
EPP Fuel Pump Kit
Snow Meth Kit
MP T-76 "Q" Trim Turbo
JGS B/O and W/G
Ebay Large Intercooler
Spec 3+ Clutch
3.42 Gears
Going to be a relatively low cost boost build and plan on running low boost, 8-10lbs which should net me about 650rwhp but hopefully be capable of 800 or so rwhp. Maybe run low 10's, maybe a high 9. I will be posting pics and keeping updates on the progress, just waiting on parts to arrive to start the work. Plan on doing all the fab work myself. Wish me LUCK!!

Thanks!! Usually they go for around $1200-$1500 (40k-60k miles). I just happen to call a place I do a bunch of business with and they hooked me up. I checked the inside of the motor and suprisingly looks incredible, no sludge or piston wall scoring. Gonna run it till it bust!
