Default 4.8L turbo charger.
I want to put a turbo charger on my 4.8L stock engine. It is in a 4x4 1500 2004 chevy. Any suggestions on where to start? and also what do I need? thanks for the help!

I recommend Trick Performance. Really nice kits, I know a few people with Trick's turbo kits and they have 0 issues. Check in Performance Trucks... Lots of people run their nice kits.
