Default Got my TURBO on my Yukon Denali - Great Job Livernois Motorsports !!!

I just picked my Yukon up from Livernois Motorsports. They installed their single turbo system, and lowered my ride a little bit at the same time. I used to drive a slightly modified Ford F-150 Harley (added a little bit of boost by swapping blower pulley) and expected something similar from my Garrett fed Denali.

I was wrong. This is insane amount of power. Hit I-75 on the way home took it from 50 to 70 (Yeah right) and within 15-20 second, my speed limiter kicked in.

Some tuning by Dan, and the engine runs sooo smooooth. The installation looks very stock! 22s and a few inches drop, and it handles nice too for a 6,000 pound SUV.

Very happy customer!!!!

Thanks, Rick, Jackie, Scott, Dan, guys in the shop, and everyone else I forgot! Great customer service, and support.

I like it. Did you dyno or did they just tune it?

Default Dyno or tune

No AWD dyno - yet. Tune as you go.... It would be very interesting to know the Tq/hp ratings.

Will it be at Milan Saturday morning for the Motown Muscle track rental? I'd like to see it run.

tune as you go??? is that safe for your motor? Do you have the LQ4?? I was looking very close at LMS to see how thier customer service is, they are local to me and I would hope I could stay local as I mod my SSS...I want a turbo so bad, but there is some talk about the radix putting out more power w/ some fuel dilevery problms getting fixed using the smaller pulley and dyno tuning...

Anders, I'm glad you're happy with it. I drive our Escalade quite a bit and it's a ton of fun. Thank you for the feedback. Get some video of that thing!

It is actually tuned safely on the street using a high dollar wideband that is accepted by the OEM's. We wouldn't let anything leave the shop without a safe tune.

Rick,
You guys are always welcome on our AWD dyno for tune time. We love to hear the whistle of a turbo car/truck.
