New pistons for lower compression and you obviously need a turbo kit...other than that I think you have a lot of what you need. I am in the process of doing my first turbo build as well. To be honest I read and learned how to properly build a boosted motor...I'd advise you do the same man. There is a lot out there to be learned. Without you giving more specifics and having a understanding of what kind of parts you need to boost a motor its hard to really help you.

You gotta consider, compressions, oil feed and return, charge pipes, flanges, turbo, down pipe, oil restrictors, mileage on your clutch (ACT will not hold 450 whp), size exhaust (3" good for boost applications)....etc

 

all know all about turbos, this wont be my first boosted car, just want some guidance on how to build the motor exactly what all i need for the motor....

 

Well if you are running stock sleeves...I'm not really sure what your getting at...Maybe run some stronger rods, you have a LS crank which is fine, your running stock sleeves, you have a valve train and fine cams for turbo. What else do you really need?

If it were me I'd build the motor all at once while its apart for the further and just spend the extra money for CP pistons, Manley Rods, Darton Sleeves, and MID kit but thats also like a 800 whp+ capable motor.

 

i have an Extra B18b long block sitting in my garage... thats the one im going to build
