85 C10 turbo build I am stationed in Okinawa for the next 2 1/2 years so I am going to start collecting parts for the turbo build when I get back. I am going to keep track of it in here bc the swap is already done. Here is how I left the truck:
'03 5.3 with 243 heads, Lunati Voodoo 60510 cam, ebay head studs backed by a th350 small stall and stock 10 bolt rear.
Plans:
20 gal fuel cell Holley Dominator Pump, Aeromotive reg and rails, 80lb injectors -10 to pump -8 feed/return.
4l80e TransGo HD shift Kit Circle D converter
Fab 9" 3.50 gears
A little suspension work front and rear
Weight reduction
Here is what I have on my parts list for the turbo:
GT45
EMUSA 50mm Gate
RPS BOV
2.25" hot side
3" Cold Side
3.5" down with cutout and bullet style muffler
31x12x3 Intercooler
Holley Dominator EFI(to cover all future upgrades and control the 4l80e)
Eventually I will upgrade to a better turbo but I wanted to start cheaper. I am open to any and all suggestions.

Here are a few pics for reference:
1st day:
How it sits now:
I am also going to shorten the rear by 3" and stuff some 15x12s with MT 29/15/15 Street tires and 325/50/15 ET drag radials for the strip
