LB7 Turbo Swap?

WisconsinHick1 · 11-04-2009, 07:24 PM

Hey guys I have been over reading on DP and was reading about guys who are taking LBZ turbos and putting them on there LB7's now first of all what is all needed Im sure a controller for the VVT and what else is needed for lets say downpipe and pedestal?

Is it really worth it or is it cheaper go to an aftermarket turbo? Just thought I would pick your brains.

Pedistal is 1 piece with the turbo, it's built in. downpipe would be just a stocker or diamond eye.

Personally Id go with Freddy's setup. it works and its a good starting point.

Downpipe and intake would be different other than needing the controller. IMO its not worth the hype, go the same route Brian did and save some money and end up with a better setup.

Speaking of Freddy, anyone heard from him lately? He still owes me the turbo I have lots of money invested in, can't seem to get a hold of him the last few weeks at all.

Yeah I want Freddy's setup too but no one knows when he'll be up and running.

Do you know anything else that would be needed Brian? Maybe sell me your stock turbo?

Sorry I haven't heard from him in a long time. I really want his setup I am going to do something this winter but I just don't know what.

How hard would the intake be to deal with? Would I need a new intake from and LBZ motor?

Probably just a LBZ mouthpiece and clamp.

Just use a stock LBZ mouthpiece if it'll fit around LB7 motor accessories, I'm sure fleece could answer that for you.
