I'm building a 5.3. I am buying 2 s366 turbos so what are a good waste gate and bOV. I also looking for a good intake. I have a 02 5.3 Tahoe engine. Head studs and a cam. I am using the holley dominator EFI. Wanting 900-1000 to the rear wheels. 4l80e trans.
Intake?
Cam?
Waste gate ?
BOV ?

 

Intake you will get mixed opinions on Im personally going with a holley high ram I dont have clearance issues. Cam IMHO custom specs to your setup. Wastegate and BOV is personally like JGS.

 

im running twin Turbonetics RG45 wastegates and an XSPower 50mm BOV..

 

Giving an opinion on waste gates and BOVs is most likely going to **** people off. For some reason, these seem like some deeply personal choice and an opinion in disagreement with another is tantamount to insulting their mother or wee-weeing in their favorite breakfast cereal. So!

I prefer Turbosmart. Made in Australia and far better quality than some of the junk I've run in the past. No problems and no worries!

Sorry if I pissed in your cheerios.

 

Thanks I've heard good things about turbo smart. $250 and you see all these $50 dollar ones and I was thinking dang what's the difference. But That is to big of a what if.

 

I like Precision 46 and Tial 50.

 

im running 2 turbosmart comp 40's. very good gates

all ebay junkers that work great for me

 

Turbosmart 60mm here. Tial 60mm would be my other choice. kind of dicey using ebay wastegates on forged motor setup, when lots of money are invested into an engine setup. IMOP

 

I like turbosmart for my wastegate. and I run RPS bov they seem to be very reliable never had a issue .

 

I'd recommend tial mvs 38mm gates. What a coincidence I have 2 for sale!

 

Tial 60s done

 

At the OP's power level is one 50 mm BOV sufficient? Or would a 60mm or two 50mm be necessary?
