Dont the flimsy **** hoods scare the crap out of you?

I know mine is getting some sort of fasteners. At 65 mine looks like it wants to take flight.

He is getting bored and painting things now as well i see

I have your tune for this combo in 3.0 and was going to use it as a base.

That dyno graph gives me hope. 413whp on 12 psi/deg with a 4.8 and on3 76mm.

My 5.3 has the same turbo and I'm hoping to run about 16 PSI. That should be around 500whp considering the displacement difference and pressure increase. I'll cam it once I get more familiar with HP tuners and try to get another 100 HP out of it.

I had a question about the turbo oil feed. If you were to mount the turbo in roughly the same spot on the passenger side, would you still pull oil from the fitting on the driver's side of the oil pan? I've heard about a few people pulling from the sending unit behind the intake, but was just wondering what they were doing for oil pressure after that.

When you put the new turbo setup on this one, are you planning to keep the 60e for a while? I for one hope so! Lol, I want to see what you get out of it that way.
