Default Turbo lt1 build help.

Hey guys, I was originally going to do a rear mount set up but it has really got me thinking and i've decided to go with front mount. I already ordered the piping for the rear mount and it should be here tomorrow. The issue is i got 2 1/4" piping.... Is that going to be okay for hot side with the turbo im using? Here are the specs.


Compressor Wheel Trim: 50
Compressor A/R: 0.66
Turbine Wheel Trim: 77
Turbine A/R: 1.05
Compressor Wheel Inducer: 68.9mm
Compressor Wheel Exducer: 98mm
Turbine Wheel Inducer: 88mm
Turbine Wheel Exducer: 77.4m

I have slp shorty headers i plan on flipping around. (hopefully these will work) Otherwise i was going to go ahead and use stock manifolds.
I plan on running right around 7psi until she pops or im going to throw some forged rods and pistons in. Whatever my budget allows for. I am new to the turbo world but i know enough to get the job done from some dsm's i've owned and months of research.

Any help or info will be great guys.
Here is what i have already/ordered

Turbo
Tail 44mm wastegate
lots of 2 1/4" mild steel piping
Appropriate flanges and couplers (on back order)argg
dual walbro fuel pump setup
aeromotive fpr

you will most likely want a boost controller and a wideband. You WILL need a BOV also. Let us know if you need any help with the parts.

That tube size will be more than adequate for what is by comparison a relatively small turbocharger as a single.
In fact, it's likely too large diameter.
