Default sts?s and motor?s

ok i been looking into puting a sts on my 98 camaro and i just have no idea what im getting myself into. if i run
Boost: 5 psi Rear Wheel Horsepower: 414 %'d increase: 30%
or Rear Wheel Torque: 450 %'d increase: 35%
what kinda problems would i be facing if i just put the turbo on the motor and went on like it wasnt even there? what all is needed to run the 5psi on a stock ls1 without blowing it apart. and what should will i be in for in cost and headach wise?

Custom dyno tuning will be needed with any amount of boost and if you're going to go any higher than 5psi then you'll need to dip into the fuel sys.

depends on your goals. If you click that button to the left of "Quick links" near the top of this page, youll find answers to almost all your questions.

If you run 5psi dont expect WOT runs or track visits. Get a tune for 5-6psi and youll be happy (temporarily) with the 400-450hp it makes. Then come back after visiting the threads on this site about building a big(er) boost car.
