HTT is what I have on my lb7. I love it. Make sure you get the SS housing though. They offer 16cm and 13cm SS housings. Talk to them to figure which is best for your app.

I got mine from... underground Diesel I think. It was reasonably priced.

Mine is the 66mm compressor, 71mm turbine and 13cm SS housing. its an excellent turbo for the street. The bigger housing or a slightly bigger turbo wouldn't hurt, but with my 35" tires it probably wouldn't be as responsive.

It comes with the BD supermax install kit which has a lot of parts you don't need in it. You will run a new oiling line from down by the oil filter to feed the turbo. Plug the stock location. Also, the HTT has no water cooling, so that line is just looped.

It comes with a downpipe which looks like a behotch to get in, but its really not. And a drivers side tranny oil dipstick which looks easy to put it but its a behotch. I did not use that piece of junk dipstick, its garbage and useless. I kept my stock one and just snapped the mount off and mounted up tighter to the firewall. Now is situated right by the AC condensor.

Intake is easy to create.
