    Turbo Tahoe?

    Yeah ultimately I don't really have a lot left it's just time consuming things. But in regards to the exhaust manifolds I think as along as you soak all the bolts before hand it'd probably come off easy, I in fact didn't lol. I ended up cutting it into sections because I didn't want to have to...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Thank you sir. I really appreciate all the positive feedback keeps me going haha. The last few days I feel like I'm almost getting no where. There are a lot of small things that come into play as far as hoses needing to be heat wrapped and or rerouted for heat purposes and it seems like every...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Thanks man. It's coming along slowly but surely. I do have the rear AC so there's plenty of lines to be wrapped in the area. I'm throwing the kit on stock for now, then hopefully a year or so I'll do the 4L80e swap followed by a cam and turn it up. I was hoping to have it running this weekend...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    That's the plan. I just told the old lady I would take a break for a while after I get it running and tuned since I've had it for a little over 3 months and have already spent almost $5-6k in it lol I envy you for the shop haha the weather is what puts a damper on my progress most of the time...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    I will be getting my vaccum source from a currently capped port on the top of my intake manifold so my brakes will not be affected. Also in regards to the oil feed there is a small factory plate above the oil filter that I am going to remove and tap for the fitting supplies. And the return I...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Went out for a few after work today got the turbo mounted up and ran the oil feed need to get 2 90 degree 5/8 fittings to relocate the heater hoses that go to the coolant neck. Gap and install my plugs and then I can install the downpipe and wastegate.

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Another 90 degree day here in VA so progress was limited with working outside on th asphalt. I guess I lied when I said I'd have this thing done over the weekend lol. Did get all of the old exhaust system off and got the manifold and crossover pipe bolted up. I'm hoping for some cooler evenings...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Didn't get as far as I'd have liked today. Had a few hang-ups with installing my fuel pump. Dropping the tank alone was fine but trying to get it back up alone with one jack was a task so I had to call in reinforcements . Tomorrow I'll be back at it.

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Did a little prepping for the install wrapped the downpipe, dumptube and crossover pipe. I'm going to leave the manifold unwrapped and wrap the A/C lines around it.

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Well I actually decided against using someone in my area to do it so I am using a guy to remote tune it that one of my friends recently used on his cts-v. It will take a little longer that way but I'm fine with that I told him for now I want it to be enjoyable but also as easy on the trans as...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    For sure, but that's definitely out of my expertise so ill be taking it to one of the local shops to handle that. That's actually the kit that I ended up purchasing. I just ordered the kit today with the new Gen 2 manifold and the 76mm instead of the normal 70mm and a 320lph fuel pump. I'm...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    I'm going to piece it together but I'm going to purchase the hotside from kbracing. I don't want to have to tear it down and keep pulling and putting parts back on to get everything to fit the way I want. Don't really want it to turn into a project. If I purchase everything the way I plan to I...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Planning to pull the trigger on a turbo kit for my PPV Tahoe sometime the fall. My choice currently is the trick performance kit. I've also browsed at the On3 performance kit as well as the KB racing turbo kit. My question to you guys is has anyone on here purchased any of the kits listed above...

    For start we need PPV / SSV pics

    Thank you, and I plan to do so that way I only have to do stuff once instead of twice . The specs on the wheels are 17x7 in the front with a 265/60/17 and 17x10 in the rear with a 275/60/17

    PPV 2" Drop From NorcalSS

    Did you by chance buy all this in a kit, or did you have to order it all separately. I like that stance and how would you say the ride quality is in comparison to factory.

    New to this forum but I'm glad to see there's a specific section for those of us with PPV/SSV. Here's a few of my 09 just put my new wheels and tires on this weekend, next up is to lower it a bit more.
