Default S10 5.3 Rearmount GT45 Turbo

Did a 5.3/4L80e swap on my s10 last in the summer. Naturally I wanted more power.... it is fast though!
Truck has
-228r Cam
-3200 Circle D stall
-PAC 1218 springs
-LS1 intake
Picked up a GT45 from ebay, Ebay wastegate, turbo oil feed oil pan adapter plate, magnaflow dual 2.5" to single 3" Y-pipe. Going to get all the turbo feed and drain lines next week along with a shurflo oil scavenge pump. Turbo will be mounted right behind the cab. Picking up Snow performance Meth kit also. I have no plans for an intercooler.

cool build. Any idea how much power you were making on the motor pre turbo?

Not sure. Maybe 320-350 rwhp.
I bought a FORD 8.8 rear end today for $150 complete takeout. It came out of a 96 explorer. Has 3.73 gears, It's a Locker and has disc brakes. I also ordered all of this cap today... undecided on what type of muffler I want to get post turbo. It has to be magnaflow 3" single in/Single out though.
