Check out the FI (forced Induction) section.

Read through the stickies, they have a breakdown and a DIY turbo thread you might want to check out..

Also search "turbo 5.3's" and that will keep you busy till the new year reading all the threads..

Good luck

Expect at least $15k when all is said and done, unless you do a lot of the labor yourself.

Exactly, if you want a shop to do it then add 5k-10k
