turbo suggestions
would like your guys input on a suggestion for a turbo/bov/wastegate/injectors
car: 1989 iroc-z camaro
engine: stock ls3
trans: t56
i will probably be running ls1 or truck manifolds with both sides of the exhaust routed into the turbo.
ive also consider the turbonetics t series 76mm with ceramic ball bearing
and a procharger bov (like stangkilr love that set-up)
main a street car so not to sure on the turbo a/r size
thanks guys

My opinion only... , the On3 76mm BB will provide all your motor can handle...for a stock LS3 setup. Also, it's nice and compact and has had good reviews by those who have actually used them, myself included. It's a good unit to get you into the game at a fraction of the cost of the others listed above. Not saying that they aren't good units, just saying that you can get a good unit at 1/3 of the cost. Again... my opinion only...
OP... Front Mount setup I take it? Oh, and I wish you the best in whatever you do end up goint with.

I'm running a rear mount On3 Ball Bearing 76mm with .81 AR. I've had no issues with the turbo unit at all. There's another thread just about On3 Turbos. Everyone who's run them likes them, as far as I can tell. Everyone who sells the higher dollar units seems to knock them...in general. I haven't heard anyone who actually owns one complain about them.

For my setup, at 10 lbs boost, with LS9 Cam and stock heads/bottom, it was pulling hard all the way to 6000 rpm.
I believe the specs are similar to the Turbonetics TC76, so I would imagine similar performance.
Maybe someone else who's run one and is forged can chime in.
Also... here's a nice long, in depth thread that discusses the On3 Turbos. Good read.

Hope it helps to answer some of your questions.

Im looking at getting a on3 turbo like yours for a rear mount setup
here are the specs on ebay
Cold Side:
Compressor Wheel 76mm
.80 a/r
4” Inlet and 2.5” Compressor Outlet
Inducer- 76.71mm
Exducer- 102.36mm
Exhaust Side:
Exhaust Housing T-4 Flange

So are you saying you ordered the .81 ar exhaust housing ?
