Chevy Blazer M1009 CUCV turbo upgrade

[VermontPrepper]

Sorry Doghead - I updated the location. Would have thought that the "Vermont" in VermontPrepper would have been a hint, but I have updated as rules require. Lord knows I am not a rule breaker.

Where did you get your kit for $2300? I see them advertised for $2800~ How much better is your truck pulling up hill? I've also been looking into this Turbo kit but been contemplating piecing mine together with used parts to see if I like it first. $3k seems a bit much for 60HP but maybe that 60HP is all it needs. I have another Game plan for my M1009 if this turbocharging is not going to work out but it would require swapping for a LBZ Duramax that I have sitting on a pallet right now. Can you tell me how Boost is regulated on these turbos? I also didn't see any blow off on the intake side. Do they just make so little boost where it is not needed? would love to see some detailed pics.
