Hot side+ Cold Side Comparing "Full Kits" Preparing to Pressurize an 03 4WD Suburban. Daily driver, cold weather, ice, snow, occasional light towing, very mild boost in the 10PSI range. 5.3 Liter, stock bottom 208/214 cam, 3.73 gears, and planning a single small turbo.
NOT a dyno bragging toy, and never going to see dragstrip, just want a LOT of torque, and very good throttle response into a stock torque converter..
For easy driveway 'bolt-on' install, the promise of minimal fabrication, I am giving consideration to the complete kits on the market.
In comparing the ON3 to the Huron Speed full kits, it appears the Huron Speed might have an edge in installed durability, the v-band style wastegate, with flexible bellows downpipe seems like a nice feature. .
Also, Huron's slip fit cross over looks a bit more long lasting than the ON3 woven flex joint. Can anyone comment on the installation headaches or long range- HIGH Mileage durability of the Huron Speed V4 kit vs ON3 as installed on GMT800 Light truck platform?
.
I range far from home, and seldom carry a welder with me, so durability is paramount.

Can't speak to the install on your application but Huron Speed would get my vote.
I ran their V1 AC kit on my 4th gen Camaro for years, was still running on the car when I sold it.
Also their after sales support is stellar, Jon will bend over backwards to help you, haven't heard anything like that from On3, in fact the exact opposite.

I would pick the Huron, they use decent thickness SS. For the turbo I run a VS racing 70/70 and I’m very happy on my cammed 5.3 with a 2400 stall. Lights much quicker than a billet 78/75 and a 70/75. Also pulls to 6k pretty hard and I’ve been up to 16lbs. Viren said it would top out at 750 and uses the latest tech.
