Re: turbo 5.3

Thanks, unfortunately I won't be driving until summer 2015, works got me busy until September. Still have to finish up the bed and a lot of minor details including tuning. But it will be some sweet garage art for the winter.

That's my end goal for my twin setup. Going to get my truck running on the stock 5.3 until I've gathered all the parts and built my setup. These are definitely going to be fun rides!
