Twin Turbo Kit

[iamdub]

You just need to take the turbos to a turbo or diesel repair shop and have the bearings replaced in the turbos to a ceramic bearing that can withstand the heat better than the cheap bearings that are in them now

Buy the kit, do as you say, then entertain us all.

It’s what I’m planning on building. 5.3 bored to 4” bore flat top pistons with valve reliefs 799 heads CNC bored and decked.030 with a dual turbo kit and bearings upgrades

Hoping to get around 650hp

This is the kit I’m planning on getting

I've been looking at Armageddon Turbos but its pretty expensive - about $10k https://goturbo.net

I'm a member of TurboForums and most of the players on there build their turbo kits. The Chinese kits are OK because they say most are hit-or-miss but the turbo's in the kits are for ****, half the piping is not an exact fit, and they usually throw in cheap waste gates and controllers which end up killing engines on DIYers...so they also need to be upgraded. You are better off finding a turbo that fits what you want and buying the parts individually. Its more of a PITA to do but you will spend a little more than the Chinese kit and walk away with a Turbo setup 10x's more reliable than those kits plus make more power.

Just like the age-old saying: you get what you pay for. I would think it definitely applies to turbos and superchargers. Ive thought about the fact that my Whipple requires absolutely no service for 100,000 miles, and then it only needs an oil change.

I think this kit is made by a company from Michigan.

There's some threads on other forums discussing this kit. I haven't seen any favorable ones. Here's one where the guy sold it for a $600 loss, he said it was junk. I say buyer beware. https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/forced-induction-159/turboing-my-dd-538759/page7/

You cannot bore any 5.3 to 4" unless you install sleeves AFAIK. Is that what you mean? Using Darton Mid or Dry Sleeves?

Centrifugal super charger would be much more reliable and less chance of damaging an engine with 100k. As for price comparison I’m not sure.
