I've never been off road with it, flood waters, that's about it. I drive it everyday back and forth to work each day. I put about 75-80 miles.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that!
I painted it, made the doors myself, made the brackets for the mirrors and installed Jeep mirrors, I had the spacers made at my local machine shop, I did a 4L80E swap with the TCI-TCU, and built a custom manifold to install the turbo, which I bought from a buddy real cheap. I did ever thing myself, so I have made the mistakes, and learned from them. 1122172137.jpg1126170936a (002).jpg20160323_201353.jpg0624171020b.jpg20160215_194900.jpg

1129161733.jpg Its a factory GM-3 Turbo off of a 94 or 95 Suburban which I'm running about 5-7lb boost, and 10-14lb under load. I had to custom fab everything, and I mean everything!
but it was worth it. I have the torque converter set to lockup at 50MPH, and that's about the same time the waste gate opens. Sounds amazing.
I turn 1850-1900 rpm @ 55MPH with 7lb of boost. The Turbo install cost me around $1000.00 to $1,100.00 Total. That's with me tacking up the exhaust manifold and taking it to a welder to have it tig welded, so its done right. I picked up the turbo with a set of extra heads from a friend of mine for $200.00. I was tired of people saying you cannot install a regular turbo on the Hummer.
