A friend of mine wants to buy a stick shift LB7 but wants it to sound like my LBZ with a Danville stage two charger . Is anyone like fleece or danville making a VGT setup for the older trucks and what will he have in it .

You can get the turbo and then use the Fleece controller for the VVT.

But honestly its not worth the money IMO.

Actually, it might be easier and/or cheaper to buy a LBZ and put a ZF-6 in it...
Or, why not get a manual LLY, which already has a VVT?

I know I was looking for a 6spd lly but crew cab short beds are hard to find and when you do find them they wanta bunch of $$$$ for them . so I settled and the only reason he wants the variable turbo is for the sound so I told him I would check on the price for him .

I have a customer that's on here goes by Howe. He runs a 4094 vvt turbo I sold him and a fleece controller on it.

Top this '06 ec/sb ZF6 :D Probably should have gotten an interior shot for better proof :( But it had a busted flywheel...the dealer still let people test drive it even though the truck would make you sick after about a minute from the vibration...

Yep lol. I called Brayden and asked him wtf was wrong with the truck because I had no clue they use a dual mass flywheel with the zf trucks and the balance rates weren't crazy bad for 140k on them.

to put a vgt on a lb7 u will need a down pipe, turbo and the controller! the part that cost the most is the turbo. but if sum1 is really interested in doin it i wud b more than glad 2 show them my setup it. It takes a little customizing but 2 b honest i love it u get the deep sound of the lb7 wit the whistle of the newer truck
