Run the truck and look and listen a hose could be blown off. All good try to run it with the air tube off the front of turbo.
! DANGER ! AND MAKE SHURE THAT NOTHING CAN GET SUCKED IN TO THE TURBO!
and you can see the thing running get a OBD II check for bad codes / to little or to much fuel and such. Hope that helps good luck
The weight of a 350 GM turbo transmission is about 125 pounds. However, some people claim that they can be as light as 90 pounds.

The transmission fluid capacity for a GM turbo 200 R4 transmission is 6 quarts. It should be drained and refilled at least once every two years.
65 gm is approximately 1/2 cup of flour.
A turbo transmission is does not involve turbo in the conventional sense at all. A turbo takes exhaust gases straight off the cylinder head via a special exhaust manifold, and uses that air velocity to force air into the intake. This has a cost of having the incoming air to the engine hotter than what is ideal, but there is a trade off with any system. A turbo transmission, such as GM's turbo hydramatic, is merely a name GM assigned to the transmission. GM's Turbo Hydramatic 700R4 transmission was their first with an overdrive gear. This overdrive gear was a higher gear ration than previous transmission's 3rd gear and gave much better gas mileage on the street. So, a turbo transmission does not actually use turbo, it is just a name for a transmission with another gear for highway use. Turbo in this sense is just a name.
not sure about the torque but I do know the rated hp is 250. However the actual is more like 180. GM did a horrible job on the turbo!
Look for the model turbo and make you want and that company will have detailed instructions on how to bolt it all up.
