Default I Got Turbos For Christmas!!!!
yup 2 59mm turbonetic turbos for my iron 370 under the tree. i'm so excited now. my block should be finished with all the machine work by end of january, so i'm getting mighty close now. i'm still contimplating getting a new crank. i've heard the stock ones are good too about 800 but i figure i'll be around 650 at the wheels and call it good. anybody seen a stock crank break before?? thanks

Stock cranks have been battle tested with a lot more abuse than that by numerous people. Save the $$ for wastegates

I just got a hell of a deal on a pair of Tial 44mm v-band wastegates from ebay. $319.00 each. Really nice parts and would go well with your turbo's.
