Ive been itching to tig up a badass intake for this truck, the factory setup is less than desireable:thumb:

 

[GeorgiaDuramax]

So what's better the v-band or hose outlet on the turbo?

 

[Akdiesel]

People will all have their own opinions but for me I have never had trouble with hose

 

[GeorgiaDuramax]

Like hose clamps?

 

[Akdiesel]

Are you talking about the compressor outlet to IC tube or the intake inlet? I'm running hose clamps on both and haven't had any issues now nor when I had my S475 and was running 50 psi of boost so I'm sold on them

 

[GeorgiaDuramax]

Well Idk, I was curious because I was looking at the website getting everything I needed to ask Trent tomorrow.

 

[Akdiesel]

My turbo inlet is 5"-5" silicone boot with a hose clamp on the inlet and the intake tube and 4"-3" silicone boot from the compressor cover to the IC tube with appropriate sized hose clamps. Just talk to Trent he'll get ya setup right. :thumb:

 

[GeorgiaDuramax]

Yeah I plan on calling Trent tomorrow(so Trent if you're reading this get ready for some questions!) Might even make an order....

 

[Akdiesel]

That's good to hear man. I think he'll set you up with what you want. My wants have changed which is the reason my turbos have changed numerous times as well lol

 

[GeorgiaDuramax]

Yeah, He has helped me a bunch before, and I have finally settled on the 464

 

[Akdiesel]

Trust me you WILL be ecstatic brother! Remember the MAF goes connector up. I heard there's a set of complete install instructions coming soon

 

[GeorgiaDuramax]

Well, I am definitely going to need a set of instructions! LOL But my biggest problem with the install is standing on a ladder to get under the hood...

 

[Akdiesel]

Yeah 35s and the lift will do that. I think I can dig ya up some rough instructions if ya want. PM me your email.

 

[GeorgiaDuramax]

Thanks bud!

 

[Akdiesel]

Yup that's what I'm here for.

 

[TrentNell]

So what's better the v-band or hose outlet on the turbo?

I always use a V-band outlet on the compressor unless spec'd other wise , or like Tony already have a tube that is hoes outlet , I just think it a more reliable connection. And def give me a shout

 

[GeorgiaDuramax]

I will definitely give you a shout tomorrow sometime asking you a few questions and possibly order a kit
