Disappointed in the front bumper support, the piece itself isn't bad but for being price of the normal one + refunded yoke+ another $1xx on top seems to be way overpriced..

Not much for time on this build as been working way to much. Since back around to winter going to do a 6pt cage, seats, and some other little stuff.

Big thing now is figuring out what to do with the turbos as they will need Fab work to fit the Huron kit. Choices are going to comp/precision or keeping them, sending them in for the etr v3 billet wheel upgrade (heard a etr ho billet 76 the other day and sounded amazing) which gives a little more room to grow. I'm really looking to get some screaming turbos so I can really hear my investment! All the money and timei n this I'll settle for nothing less.

Turbo guys.... What do u think about having my turbos sent in for the etr v3 wheel upgrade. Wanting these to spool well and was thinking about having them revamped or going to precision 6265 or comp 3bb 6265.. A little worried yet about the 68 side of the s360's being to large...???

Got off the phone with forced induction. Said they suggest the 62mm etr wheel and. 83 housings. To bad they won't take the. 91's in as trade since new but oh well. Now it's up to if I want to do some Fab work to make the Bw stuff to fit or sell these and go ct4/pte. He did mention they should spool very well and make all the power I'm looking for plus some. Still... Turbo selection makes me nervous lol.

So guys been some time now (a lot of family issues arose for a while) and finally back to working on this thing. Anyways on my eboost2 you all suggest running it like this? I'm new to boost so go easy on me haha. Plan to run a vacuum block and run most my stuff off of that as well.

You could run it a variety of ways, that is indeed one. Depends on your boost needs/goals really.

Goal is around 20psi. Street, weekend warrior. Shooting for 900+/- hp. I've just heard so many different things I just want to run it the right way once and be done haha.

And again right way depends on a few things.

What boost range, what base spring, how good or bad EGBP might be.

But the above method should work fine for you.
