Turbo parts ready for ordering! After lots of research i am ready to order my parts for my turbo kit!!!
Heres what i am looking at for my stock 00 t/a, front mounted turbo kit. I will be welding and bending all the necessary tubing.
6.0 manifolds
Garrett GT-45F 78T
Precision PTE AS1026 Intercooler
TiAL V60 Wastgate
TiAL 50mm BOV
TiAL hose clamps and silicone fitings
Exile MSBC-1 ET01 boost controler
Griffin radiator
(and of course all the extras that will add up...)
I am only 18, and in college, and my rents wont buy me these parts because they know what i am tryin to do
, so for the stock motor I will only be running about 450-500hp until next year when I can come up with enought money for an LS2 402ci with ETP 225s.
What do you think?

Yeah that boost controller is an overkill. If you want a budget controller with basic controls that is an EBC, then we have the AEM Boost controller. Its a nice little piece and not to bad on price as well.

Do i still run that manual boost controler with the 402 also?
I was going to install the Exile boost controler in the conter glove box.
If i can put the AEM in the center glove box, i will do that, that would save 500$.
The reason i want it in the center glove box is because i dont like fancy lights in the interior any of that "bling" i would like to keep the interior as stock looking as possible.

The aem is a gauge style controller, just put it in the pod and you can raise or lower the boost on the gauge itself.
the AEM, E-boost, Manual will all work with a 402, the Exile unit is meant for race cars that use the controller to help get the car out of the hole and down the track with traction

Yea, hopefuly after the 402 is built i will have a nice 850rwhp for the track, hoping on 93 also...
Since this thread is open i have been debating between the LS2 and LQ9 block, there is only about a 400-500$ diffrence so i have np chosing one over anothor. Which one do you think i should be going with? (this engine build will be taking place sometime next year so i have time to do some more search)

Everyone will say to go with the LS2. I went with the iron 6 for my 408 cuz in my case I could care less about the added weight... the bird was 2955lbs with the 464ci pontiac in it, enough to get killed with 1000bhp. For an extra 400-500, I'd probably go LS2 if you want better weight transfer and better power/weight ratio.

i dont think you'll need an aftermarket radiator - see if the stock one will work ok for you first, and you could do a cheap ebay IC instead of the precision.
also do you need a tial 60mm WG, could save some money and use a turbosmart 48mm?
depending on your whole setups.
what is your end goal, why the Garrett GT-45F 78T?

That's true hawk, didn't even notice that. Larger wastegate is only needed for lower boost to bypass more exhaust to prevent the turbo from creeping. I run a 48mm on my rig, works like a champ with a 5psi spring and 0 on the boost controller, holds it right where it should. A lot of guys running 8psi run a 38mm and get away with it... I figured for the slight price difference, why not run a 48? LOL I'm running a treadstone intercooler up front, the thing works like a champ, and you can't beat it for the $. Specs show very little pressure drop, and the thing keeps IAT's low.

The reason for the bigger wastgate is because my goal is about 850rwhp, and when i would like to drive it on the road and be safe i would like about 450-500rwhp so i have to bleed out about 400hp. Maybe with the 402 i could make 1000rwhp, but that would be over achiveing my goal which is never bad, but then i would have to bleed out 500hp so i can make 450-500rwhp for the street.
The reason for the aftermarket radiator is so when it comes time for the 402 all i mostly have to do is drop it in and not worrie about the cooling issues, also since i am doing a front mounted turbo, i am going to be mounting the radiator not in the factory brackets, the radiator will be moved about 2-3" forward to make more room for the turbo. So i would like to do it while i am in that area with some extra cash.
I chose the Garrett GT-45F 78T because it will spool faster than the GT-47 and have more mid range power. I was going to go with the GT-47 until i did some research and found out that the GT-45F 78T was better for my application.
