5.3L Turbo Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Recently purchased a 5.3L/4l60E setup out of a 2007 2wd Silverado with 60,000 miles on the clock. I am in the process of pulling my 327/nv3500 out of my 70 SWB Chevy to make room for the new power plant. The new to me 5.3l already has a new GM performance oil pan to clear the cross member, new motor mounts, wire harness repin and computer reprogram. I have a Boyd welding gas tank prepped for EFI ready for install. And I am building a new gauge cluster using an 96 s-10 speedo.

I thought I was all ready but then I got my latest issue of Classic Trucks and now want to install a turbo after seeing it done on 67 C10. I tried searching the forum but couldn't find much more than started projects. Anyone know of any build threads that would help. Or have any good advice?
