LLY is a VVT turbo, stands for variable-vain turbo, and to my knowledge, won't ever work on a LB7 which is a fixed-wheel turbo and has no vanes, instead it has a wastegate

ON EDIT: If you need a LB7 turbo I have one for sale, PM me

You will need a special box to control the vaines of the turbo which has yet to be released supposedly Brayden has something but I wouldn't waste my time... by the time you buy the box, the turbo, custom fab this or that you will gain next to NO! hp over the LB7 turbo.

it is do able but like paint said. to get really good gains would be costly because you would have to buy a modded vvt turbo then the turbo brake to control it
