ls motors are great for boost as long as you dont misuse the turbo.

start reading,

 

not real sure just yet but i know i want to keep the stock internals for now

 

i'm assuming you don't have crazy high goals, so just get a dsm 14b turbo, and piece the rest together. with the stock internal waste gate you'll be running around 7-10 psi.

although keep in mind that psi doesn't determine horsepower.

and to avoid getting ripped apart, like the other guy said, start doing some reading. cause there's a lot to learn.

 

check out the boosted section of H_T and also classifieds you will save a lot of $$$
but something that I never got is that most people die to boost but once they boost in less than six months the car is sold...
in my opinion best off with a nisan sentra SER

 

ls's are great for turbos as long as there are supporting mods and good tune
