Lq4 turbo build help
Looking to boost my 1985 Chevrolet 1 ton short box. Currently has a sbc 350 I have a lq4 out of a 2004 Silverado only has 80000 k on it. Looking for suggestions on turbo, I would settle for eBay turbo kit for now looking to make 6-750 hp. Using th 400 trans .would like to use pump gas water meth if needed

Alot of guys have used those GT45s successfully. I have one but it only has a ton of idle time. Not much driving as i have to still tune.
I must admit i kinda wish i had have gotten the S475 as there is more room to grow and the Borgs are extremely tough turbos. BUT... they are large in size but in a truck there is lots of room for fitment.

So would the middle link work ? First turbo build cheaper would be better for me right now but if it's just way more convenient s475 would be a better option please can some one give me some feedback

Yes u can get a budget ebay turbo for around $300 that will do the job will it out last or make near the power as a s475 borg will? Hell no. Go ahead and spend the couple hundred more and get a s475 and be done. That turbo will make all the power u would want and last forever. U could possibly get one cheap in the for sale section used.

Like my post above, there are many different ways to achieve your goal. Invest a bit of time researching the net and compile a parts list on an Excel spreadsheet. You can go sloppy using China stuff or higher quality stuff. Budget is going to be the biggest factor.
When you get your parts list post it up and we can evaluate.
