I'm very impatient myself. And enjoy going hands on to. This was the best verbal and visual walk through I have seen nice job and video. Very informative.
Watching all these LS Turbo videos is making me want to just buy a beater for $1000-$2000 and then boosting the hell out of it. Who cares if the engine goes, can find them in the junkyard
Very informative, great video! Nice to see a common guy like myself explaining things the way I understand them and not talking in a way that is too technical like all these other channels!
I know exactly how that shit goes... I could never afford to take vehicles to the shop...I had to learn how to fix my own vehicles... It's crazy how much shops charge for even brake replacement
Nice vid! You helped me decide between supercharging vs turbo. I use my truck for offroad but seeing that crossover pipe that low is no bueno and I don't see any way around it. Good job on the vid though. I watched the whole thing. Liked and subscribed. I had 3 and 4 go out on mine as well from towing. Mine never had a factory transmission cooler. After rebuild it does now.
I'm going to try flipping the manifolds and try doing the crossover up front to prevent the low hanging crossover. After I get trans sorted going to start piecing together turbo kit. And may post vids
Just threw a sloppy stage 2 in my truck, and have the turbo mounted, just gotta piece the piping and little things together now, thanks for video, it’s give me a reference or an idea on what to do
Man bro good shit I have the n 02 and I wanna do the same but it's got 256k on the miles n I wanted to change the cam n valve train but after seeing this I wanna do it now lol
Definitely could use your help doing an LS swap to 89 Cadillac brougham think the next step for both adorable superchargers it is just really expensive and the ease of adjustment is not the same
@@E-bikeguy Good deal man! Thank you so much, I've been piling up parts to boost my 3/4 ton burban, that was a serious concern of mine with the crossover section and the blow off valve. I appreciate the answers!
The inrail fuel pressure regulator could be causing low fuel pressure at full throttle because it's getting boost??? Just wondering if you have checked fuel pressure at boost. You may need a different fuel pressure regulator. But man what a cool setup for the money.

@@E-bikeguy I'm on this trip of having a 6.2 getting way better mpg if I add a turbo (maybe remote kit). I would basically be turboing that burgundy hauler you have (twins but a midget lol). I saw STS Turbos make a Vette get Instant avg 42 mpg and been geeked ever since.
What did you do to the brakes, i installed a nbs master cilinder with the kelsey hayes abs but my brakes just suck, discs/pads, drums are all new, bleeded everything but still suck
That's pretty good. I was always trying to justify adding a turbo (6.2 Yukon) and it making sense. So added HP, pull, hopefully better mpgs for long drives, is enough for me. I would love to add a STS remote mount kit but I love your version.
