okay.. i searched and read like 50 pages of the ls boost thread but i still have a ton of questions. I'm gonna be boosting a 98 teg ls.. My goals are in the 250 -300 whp range on an entirely stock motor with lots of tuning!! Most of my questions are brand related. I will be piecing together a custom kit and I'm trying to make some decisions, decide what needs to be quality, what may be overkill, whats streetable etc..... Keeping in mind this car will be a daily driver and Im looking for 250-300 whp, im trying to decide on brand names and what not. Basically I want quality parts without spending too much money on parts that are meant for 500-700 whp! So heres what i have so far for my car....Please let me know what you change, add, get rid of etc....

Turbo: T3/T04E but which trim? 50, 57,or 60?

Manifold: spoolin log manifold

FMIC: Spoolin 24x9x32.75 intercooler

Fuel Pump: walbro 255

Injectors: rc 440's?

Wastegate: Tial... but what mm?

BOV: tial

okay and my last question is this: I know there has been some debate about the size of exhaust and dp so for my setup what would u recommend? I was leaning towards 2.5 intercooler piping, dp, and exhaust. Is this sufficient? Would my car realize much more power with 3 in. or would that be overkill considering my whp goals? Thanks in advance!!! I would like as much advice as possible!

 

57 trim turbo
RC550s
Tial 38mm

what size dp are you going to run??

 

i was thinking about running a 2.5 the whole way... agree/disagree?

 

that sounds good...that's what i'm doing on my GSR and i'm looking for 300whp.....

 

Yeah do what ^ he says. 57 trim, and 38mm wastegate. But if you're only looking for around 250-300 hp you could also go with DSM 450 cc injectors and run a resistor box. Anything over 300 hp I'd go with the 550's. Also a 2.5" exhaust and IC piping is fine for your goals.

3 inches dp and exhaust would give u room for later to push 400whp just my .02
Good luck with the setup
Keep us posted

 

alright thanks for all the input guys... any thoughts on the intercooler? def. will keep everyone posted!

 

Precision 350 would be good

 

alright sounds good

 

as for the intercooler i used an ebay one and it works great. no leaks or anything. got it shipped to my door for like 150. if i had to do it all over again i would get the same one.

 

i have a Johnnyracecar.com FMIC. I like it and it doesnt leak at all. They have good prices so you might want to check them out.

 

wow i want the same set up too but in a b20

 

o yea i was wondering does ur bov go off cuz mine is not and i dont know wats wrong
