turbo setup? hi there fellow entusiasts i have a question for you guys regarding turbo charging my k5 blazer.
I recently did an engine swap to my k5 I decided to put a 5.3 vortec it I ended up doing a carb setup with it and it works great however I would love to turbo charge it so that being said i was wondering if you guys could point out a few options for a good setup I know that I would be better off by going back to EFI and i also know I need upgrade my fuel system I need suggestions as an how big of a turbo should I get and what brand works good also waste gate and BOV engine upgrades if any Im looking to get from 600 to 650 hp if possible with the less money spent as possible in advance thanks for helping me out

im running a turbonetics tc78 aka hurricane benita. its a stock 5.3 (other than cam and intake) in my impala with turbosmart 45mm wastegate 10psi. ebay 50mm bov. never been on a dyno, but ive read that these turbo can support your hp goals... ive also read that the ebay gt45 is a great cheap turbo as well. plenty of info on here for combos/ideas/results.
