Im turbo bumb, ??? I just picked up a 2005 lq4.
I would like to turbo it, single or dual.
can the stock bottom end handle it?
what would be a good set up, turbo?
I have searched several times and it just adds to the confusion.

yes it can handle it
A good setup would be a turbo....especially as you asked about turbocharging it. A blower would be a bad setup if you wanted a turbo...as would n/a
Given the diabolically vague question..seems a fitting answer.

I know you said you search but there are seriously like 100s of lq4 turbo builds in here so you must not have looked very hard. There is probably 5 on the first page including mine. Google is your friend.

We need more info on your plans with the engine, daily driver, track car, hp goals, the engine is good but will only handle so much power in its stock form. As for twin or single that would be up to you.

a street play car.
Something to play with from time to time on the road, would like to be in or close to the 700 hp range.
good for you, don't use my post to raise your post count.
And we have a smartazz, there's always one floating around on a forum.
Plans are, 83 Z28, currently has a 12 bolt with 4:56 posi. Pull 454 out and play with a turbo motor. I did get a 4l80e tranny with the motor, I HAVE READ that they really suck up the power. Maybe go manual idk. It's not a daily driver but want it dependable with some power. I can't drive all of them at the same time.

They're mocking you because you came in asking the most generic questions giving no info other than LQ4.
Single or twins? Your preference.
Turbo size? Your preference.
You said "what would be a good setup". For what? If someone came up to you and said "I need a good tool", would you know what to give them? Would you instantly know what its for?
Couple things based on that last little bit you did decide to give us.
1. A 4.56 is a horrible gear for a turbo.
2. A 4L80e doesn't soak up the power. That's usually what people who haven't used one say.

Nothing worse than someone who doesn't read, doesn't give any relevant info to answer their questions and then gets butt hurt when people give them **** about it.
OP This is the Internet. Either grow some thicker skin or think more than 30 seconds before posting.

here's some help for you, since you don't wanna read. from what i've gathered.
6.0, get you some gen 4 rods if you can, turbo cam from any of the guys around, jfr, ljms, btr, tick etc etc, springs, gap the rings if you want, lots of people making power completely stock, s475 turbo is great for the price and can get you there, 4l80e will hold the power, get you a converter. ls9 gaskets for insurance, some people have had great success without even opening up the heads. 2-2.25 hot side pipes, 80lbs injectors, get you a fuel pump that will support, dual 450 walbros are cheap. I'm sure there's more i'm missing, but this will get you started

Yes...but why on earth would you want to when you mentioned only 700hp ?
Just spend an hour or so and read through the forum. As others have said, you wouldnt even need to search as the same bloody questions get asked on nearly a daily basis, and there are literally hundreds of people doing similar things.
