Looks good for the most part.

On a pure marketing critique, I have an issue with... This is the most complete turbo kit on the market for late model GM trucks and SUV's. but then says you can buy a whole mess of upgrades and I see no mention of any fuel upgrades, pump, injectors etc etc.

I am no Avalanche guru but unless they got the best pump/injectors ever, most FI setups require fuel upgrades, does programming allow enough to satisfy the system, even with the upgraded T-76 and Air to water intercooler?

Otherwise, I do like the welds, very clean, professional, also does include the little stuff like sealant, nutes and bolts, extra lines. This would make the average soccer mom's ride really move.

WTF

Incase you didn't notice I can put the other stuff together

My plan is going with the 76mm, doing a front mount intercooler,upgrade the injectors and probly add meth. I'm thinking around 500hp/550tq out of the truck on the stock 5.3.

This will actually be a test setup since we might start carrying there product,so I want to know how the whole setup will work.

Thats good news, you won't be dissapointed with quality or service with TPP. (not to be confused with TTP)
I've done a lot of business, (not turbos) with them and couldn't be happier.
