well, if you want budget turbos, master power can't be beat . if your looking at ebay/china turbos, you probably want to look at a few of the z06 cam/ls6 intake manifold builds, budget minded and proven to go 9s in 3700 lb cars. Im moving over to a 6.0 my self

If you have the room for the Pro Flow, I say use it. One of the local turbo shops here in Phoenix can build a couple 57mm T4 Garrett turbos that flow 50lb each for around $850 for both. Pm me if you want the info. For that stock motor I would put good rod bolts in it and head studs.

I have a stock LQ9 (with just LS6 cam), pro-flow intake, and 2 stock GN turbos in my 70 Chevelle.

Stay away from the ebay/china turbos.

Can't really give a turbo recommendation without knowing your power goals.

Starting my SBE 6.0 build now and after a lot of research, BW S366 .91ar's are what I'm going with. That and a custom LilJohn's cam.

Over 6 years on, things have moved on.

Chinese turbos even seem to work for some people, but genuine Borg Warners are so damn cheap these days, why even bother with chinese ***** ?
