Which turbocharger should I go with? Hi,
I'm new to turbos and would like some help. I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado with a lq9 with flat top valve relief pistons, gen 4 rods, and a sloppy stage 2 cam.
I would like to put twin turbos on this truck but I'm not sure which turbo, what size, or anything.
Also what intercooler should I go with?
If you have any question I will answer them as best as I can.

You'd have to give a little more info,,,
Whats your HP and RPM goal.. Grunt or Track speed.
If its a 3/4 ton the Duramax intercoolers can be had pretty cheap...
I would only go duals if your going really crazy power wise, its just more plumbing and cost unless you NEED that much air to hit your power number.

My whp right now is 330. That what it was when i was getting it tuned, but the transmission was slipping and it was running to lean on the top end. So I am fixing the transmission and put a Walbro 450 and a regulator for the fuel pressure. My goal for the truck is around 550-600 to the wheel
What turbo would you do for single? I don't want to spend like 4k right off the bat but I don't mind swapping out the turbos later on I just want something that is on the cheaper side of turbos. Like I was looking at summit racings SUM-260050 but I don't know if that would be to big for what i want to do or in the space I have in the truck and everything.

I have a set of stock 50lbs injectors on the engine now, would that be enough for what I have? I have a set of 60lbs but when we were trying to get to tune they wouldn't tune well. Any recommendations?

If you decide to go single 7875 and looking to save some $$, I am swapping mine out for something bigger. It's a next-gen billet 7875 with the 1.25 ar exhaust housing with air filter setup. Has about 60 street miles and 6 short 2nd gear pulls. PM me if interested and and I can give you details.
