your question is a little unclear to me....blue tubes? is that a brand or....?

sleeprmax · 10-21-2011, 07:55 AM

Are you talking about the blue boot connecting the turbo to the boost tube? I know on my buddies 03 it has blue boots

LB7s vin #1 , 01-04.5 came with them from the factory. And no they do nothing for performance haha

Thanks guys , didnt think so , as my D Max is stock. But on the eng. sound level ,is the Vin 1 louder then the Vin 2 or am I just thinking to much ?

ChevyDMax89 · 10-21-2011, 10:03 AM

Your vin1 will be louder in the engine noise itself, but the vin2 turbos will whistle louder. Thats about the only place vin2 is louder.

YEs, VIN #1 is and LB7 and VIN #@ is an LLY. The diiference is the LB7 has a fixed geometry turbo and the LLY has a variable vane turbo. Thats one of the reasons for the difference in sound

Should start not making that LB7 stock
