Default Any advice will help
I have a 2006 Silverado with the 5.3 with 140k miles on it. I have been thinking about doing a turbo setup on it. The Ls is all new to me so any suggestions will help. I'm not looking to make tons of power 400-500 and I'd be happy as a kid on Christmas morning. Should I do twins or single? What do I need to do fuel wise?

Thank you. I have been looking at setups and hard to determine if I want to run single or twins. Truck will be my daily so I need something reliable. Tranny is built already so that's a plus for now
