Hi all,

I think this is my first post here, not sure I registered years ago. I have always been a fan of lightnings, especially the turbo lightning on this site particularly. Now before I start, I want it to be made known that I know the basic theory of how engines work and what boost is, etc. However I don't have a lot of hands on experience with engines and actually fabricating a turbo kit. I'd say the most of ever done myself is an oil change on a truck, however I have over the years learned much about engines and etc, I just don't have any hands on experience.

With that being said, I want to put a turbo (preferably a twin system, it just looks more uniform and kicks some serious rear on the street) into a lightning. I just need to know where to start and what to do. Like I said I have a lot of knowledge (somewhat) I just don't have hands on experience, and I want to gain that hands on experience by doing it all myself. I don't want to pay some person to do all the work.

I am/was in love with oiN8io's lightning. It's a shame it was sold! It's literally what I want to replicate. The lightning is stock and I am getting a deal on one with only 3800 miles on it.

I am just seeking advice as to what engine, turbos, fab system, and everything else i have not mentioned I should get, and what to expect. Thank you all so much for the help. This is an amazing site and the Lightning is an amazing truck.
