Turbo Question 05 silverado 5.3
I want to put a turbo on my truck but i dont want the rear mounted turbo kit i was wondering if anybody knows if somebody makes under hood kits or just if i could find some turbo headers for my 5.3 that would be awsome. Let me know if anybody knows of anything.

I was just planning on using a set of gto manifolds, flipped to face forward. There's no need to waste money on a kit when you can fab it up for 25% of the price.

By headers, do you mean a log manifold, to mount the turbo to? If so, then you can not purchase these by themselves, at least you couldn't a year ago. If you want the manifolds that I was going to use, you can have em for $30. I have the heat shields too.
