Default Sloppy Turbo Build

Hi, guys firstly let me just say that I know about the stigma on ebay turbos and all of that, but this is honestly a POS I'm throwing together for a one day event. Now, I have a 5.3 that i'm going to do a single, low boost turbo on. I am open to all turbos though, just looking for a nice sized budget turbo that will give it a nice low end boost. Currently, I'm looking at this one

Has anybody used it this one and how was your experience? Anybody have any recommendations for other turbos I probably let slip through the cracks? Thanks in advance guys.

GT45 spools pretty slow on a 5.3.

Look at something like the On3 7065 or a billet 6666 from Rev9 if you want faster spool on a stock 5.3 on a budget.

Since you said 'sloppy', you can go ask the guys on the sloppy facebook page.

The public page is so incredibly packed full of fanboys, you owe me a dollar for every one of them that says VS 7875.

I'm about to get RICH.
