From what I was told if you go over 6psi it can cause the valves to float with stock springs

Should also change out pushrods to hardened or chromemoly to keep from bending the stockers with the added tension of the new springs.

Bah, if youre only wanting 600ish you can do that with a decent single setup. A t70 would spool faster but a t76 would be a better option if you want to run more than 600, atleast in the long run.

A better option might be to talk to kentucky turbo or wait for Modular to come out with their kit. The ebay kit has been a pain in the *** since the start and ive probably spent about 500$ welding things, buying new parts for other things so itll work. Its really sucked.

Build the kit yourself. This kit is a PITA!

So i have a V-band. I ended up taking the pieces to work and using the bench grinder to massage the flanges down to about .170 each from .220 on one and .208 on the other. There is more than enough flange to still be reliable. If that didn't work i was just going to grind more. I should be starting mine this weekend.
