Default About to start my front mount turbo build

Ok guys I'm almost finished with my front mount turbo build but have some questions. My set up consist of my stock bottom end ls1 possibly a stock bottom end iron 6.0 of course with 317 heads. I'll be running a Master Power t70 turbo. I'll be running meth to try to keep my engines air temps down. As for the BOV it's a tial 50mm and wastegate is a tial 38mm with a 12 pound spring. I'm planning on running the aeromotive stealth 340 pump with 60lb injectors, eBay intercooler. The turbo hot parts were purchase from modular turbo oh and a ls6 cam and fast 78 manifold so I got every thing minus the pump and hot parts wich I read they will be shipped Monday. My question is should I run that 12lb spring? Or even that wastegate? Also for aeromotive pump would I need a hot wire kit for this thing to supply the needed power?

the hot wire kit is always a good idea. i dont see a problem with the 12 lb spring, as long as you know that will be your lowest boost.

The 38mm should control the t70 down to your 12 lb spring pressure.

what kind of power will you be happy with.
