I have a 94' GMC Sonoma 2wd with a 4.3L TBI Vortec (Z), and on the back of that is a 4L60E. I bought a turbo off a Pontiac 301 for $20. And i want to know exactly what i need to do to make it work as a daily driver:icon16:

Well the basics would be.

Intercooler
Intercooler Piping
Waste Gate
Boost Controller
Oil Pump
Oil Lines


I just started putting my intercooler in for my 01 4.3 I've decided to go ahead and do a rearmount setup.

To be safe probably around 8 psi. On mine I'll be running around 12 psi
