I am soon to complete my ls turbo set up and i am wondering what part is going to limit me the most, to get to either 275hp or 12 psi.

This is on a b18a1, with CP 9-1 pistons, AEBS headstuds, and ARP rod bolts, stock rods.
I have:
BMC log
T3 from an SVO
DSM sidemount
Most likely turbo edit
DSM 450's
2.5 inch exhaust

Any good imput is appreciated. Thanks

3. 2.5 exhaust
4. T3

you can defanitely make power with your set up, nothing is really gonna kill you except of that tiny intercooler. You should be able to reach your goals as long as you have everything ready. I am asuming you have a good fuel pump, igntion, and all of the necessary turbo acessories

 

pick up a fmic from the classify

 

yeah i have a walbro, msd cap and coil, and 2.25 inch charge piping.

 

Sounds right,,, any more input anybody?

 

i think the turbo and definately the intercooler are your limiting factors, especially since you have a moderately built bottom end. i would look into a t3/t4, probably either the 50 or 57 trim, and one of those tyrus(johnnyracecar) intercoolers. they are inexpensive new, and get the job done
