give them a call.

 

They have a standalone VVT controller so you can use an LLY and up turbo, or an aftermarket VVT turbo.

 

yea its possible but why would you want to?

 

The ihi turbo is only a 62mm where the garret vgt is a 64mm. You can pick the garrets up for cheap. I find them for sale all the time for $400-$800 rebuilt or used. so depending on what the controller costs, it may be a budget turbo upgrade.

 

VVT's are still great turbo's. I wouldn't rule them out until you see the results.

 

not aftermarket no but stock VS stock an vgt isn't worth switching to from an IHI not at all IMHO. if anything the other way around

One member above mentioned going with aftermarket also. That is more what I was refering to, there are to many people who try and claim a VVT turbo is not a good upgrade. Where they are and there are solid numbers backing them up.

 

I hadn't even considered performance issues. I was thinking about the braking capabilities. That's kinda cool.

 

You could just get a BD/Pac exhaust brake, and save some cash.

The controller is like $900, then you need to find a turbo "$4-800 as mentioned earlier"

BD exhaust brakes can be had for under $1k, compared to the $1300-$1700 to do the VVT route.:drink

 

^true dat


but aso, it would not be automatic like turbo braking on the newer trucks...tere is now way to program it to come on under 0% throttle....well unless your crazy like ben or brayden
