hi the TurboSmart 38mm Waste Gate is too small, fuel system is too small you need 2 pumps. also the stainless cold pipes are way heavy, also A 3 inch Down Pipe is a joke!!! 4 inch MIN. plus you need a manual boost controller.

The 38mm WG is fine.

Cold side pipes are aluminum.
You need 60lb injectors minimum. The 340L will take you toward the upper end of where you want to go. Dual 340's are better.

I was stating a correction to his post. I DID LOOK AT IT. Being that I build the setups I guess I would know what I use.

I saw you went back and edited you orginal post. Funny stuff, 4"DP minimum. It is funny that the TC76 and TC78 turbo's are rated using a 3" DP in which they were desinged for. I have run the turbos to well over 20lbs with no back presssure issues.

No need to offer bad advice.

i would suggest using stainless for all of your hotside piping just for longevity purposes, youll get away with mild but when its starts to corrode youll be sorry. unless i missed where you said youd be getting them coated. just my .02, and good luck with the build, im currently fabbing my own front mount for my ls1 gto
