Default turbo tech questions

Ok,
I have a turbo tech kit and have a few questions. I am basically re-doing the entire setup, the only thing that I am using is the log, and I am going to modify it. I am going to relocate the wastegate. do you guys think that at the back of the log will be fine, on the drivers side? Or right in front of the turbo ala QMP kit??

Here's the details so far.
Log:changing the WG location
Cross over going 2.5 around the back
Intercooler, going to a big one to keep cool
Turbo. t04e t70 compressor housing, in the t-60 exhaust housing.
2.5" downpipe
3" exhaust with a bullet and turndown right before the rear end

so here are my questions, what size is the log on the TT kit?
What that I have done would you all change for a better setup? do I seem pretty much on the right track?

Motor,
forged low compression, ported ls1 heads, sheet metal intake. Have some 6.0's for more boost later down the road.
cam is like 224/224 581/581 114+4

fuel
A1000
-8 up the car
-8 into rails
billet rails
CAS boost refrencing regulator
-6 line into stock feed for return?

what kind of power would you consertavily estimate the car to have at 15psi?

all of the help and input is appericated
thanks alot

i think you should call turbotech before relocating the wastegate. 1-253-475-8319

they are the go-to people to help with your set up.

sounds like a plan otherwise.. dont know that you need that kinda fuel pump unless you run -10 to the front.
a twin walbro set up would do you fine, fit in the stock tank, and be cheaper and quieter.

this a race car or street car?

well it is going to be a street/race car. I got this pump cheaper than the twin walbro would have been.

The wastegate relocation shouldnt be that big of a deal I wouldnt think. it out to be closer to the entire log for proper opperation from everything that I have read

ill call em
thanks
ed anyone else?
