What turbo's and intercooler

[XtremeS10]

I am starting research on doing either a twin turbo or big single on my Raptor, mounted in the Y pipe, and run up to a front mount intercooler, then into the engine with my factory GT500 injectors, and a boost a pump. I am going to piece together all the parts as opposed to buying a universal kit, and want to build it right, but not go overkill.

The goals are 500-550rwhp on 93 octane on low boost. Just looking for some fun and always wanted a turbo vehicle. What do you guys think? What turbos? What intercooler? Boost levels? Long tubes? Waste gates? What all parts do I need?

Forgot to add, I want to keep the cost around $5000-$7000, does it sound feasible?

Why not something like an STS kit?

That sounds like the best solution or at least the most flexible. Should be working on something here soon.

Ok so here is where I am, I am going to make my own setup, collect my own parts, and home build mine. I want to go with a 62mm I think or potentially a 67mm, what do you all think? What trim? I know very little about turbo selection so thats my biggest hurdle at the moment

I'd say the 62 might be a bit on the small side for the turbine.67 or 70 would work well. They both have larger turbines. Where does the truck shift ? I can get you probably anything you want for that thing, but turbo is the first step. 550 max, or do you think you may want a bit more down the road ?

550 max until I decide to build the rest of the drive line up. I want to keep it on 93 without changing the compression and such. The truck shifts at 5900 I do believe.

T70 will be good for your truck.

A master power would be too small for that engine. The turbine is small and restrictive for that engine.PM'd you back Extreme

Getting interesting, I think I can build myself a hell of a setup!!

2002- Still not sure what I'm going with for 10-12psi, but I know it needs to spool quick even though its remote mount, I want the least amount of lag possible for it.

We'll figure it out based on where you mount it. The closer to the engine the better. But you don't want too fast. Annoying as hell to drive if you go up the slightest hill and the turbo starts cutting air. It's fun for a bit, but on a DD, bleh

Gotcha, I think it should be fairly easy and inexpensive to do and should be a perfect location at the end of the Y pipe :rockon:
