LS Truck/SUV Hot-Side Turbo Kit (1999-2013 GM 4.8L / 5.3L / 6.0L)
Designed specifically for 1999-2013 GM LS-powered trucks and SUVs, this hot-side turbo kit fits 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L Vortec engines and provides a durable foundation for your turbocharged setup.
Heavy-duty cast iron exhaust manifolds deliver excellent sealing, long-term durability, and consistent performance under high heat and boost conditions. Both manifolds utilize V-band connections for easier installation and serviceability, while the driver-side V-band connection eliminates the need for a factory-style gasket at that junction.
A 2.5-inch two-piece stainless steel crossover pipe simplifies installation and includes a 44mm V-band wastegate flange compatible with most common 44mm V-band wastegates. An integrated flex joint helps absorb engine movement and vibration, reducing the risk of cracks and exhaust leaks over time.
The included 3-inch stainless steel downpipe attaches to the turbocharger using a V-band connection and offers flexible exhaust routing options. Connect it to your existing exhaust system or use the included turndown for off-road applications.
Measuring approximately 25.5 inches flange-to-flange across the manifolds (without clamps), the compact design fits both factory truck/SUV applications and many LS swap projects where space is at a premium.
