Turbo choice Ok so im running a lc9 5.3 and im trying to figure out what turbo to go with im thinking of doing twin precision 6062's because I already have them or if I should do a single precision 76mm. Any advice would be helpful im trying to get to atleast 900hp!

more depends if u want a twin setup or single I guess? shouldn't have too much turbo lag either way. Im throwing twin 70mm magnum turbos on a 5.3 and I shouldn't have that much of a lag issue as long as I get a good cam and tune. A lot of it is in tuning now adays.

Unless you just have money to throw away, I would ditch the twins concept. And just go with the single precision 7675. It will make 900rwhp by itself. And not have all the hassle of all the extras that come with twins.

dude has a point, my headache got far worse when I bought this kit instead of getting the on3 kit..like the fact I spent a extra 1k on it over a brand new on3 kit, and I gotta relocate my battery, oil feed and drain lines..yada...yada...might sell this kit and go back to my original idea but I bought this kit to keep my exhaust I have on the car so idk.

OK this is going in a gen3 Camaro back half car so I have a lot of room to work with but I was leaning towards doing a single turbo but the going with a big single turbo is really expensive upwards ok 4k for just the turbo for the right turbo and i wasn't sure If running big turbo will cause a lot of lag

A 76mm turbo is fine, turbo lag is more in tunes now than actual size unless you go stupid big like..90+ then cubes will matter but short of like 85mm or bigger lag is more tune based than size based.

Id do this you just have to move stuff in the engine bay to make it work like me, if u want to run filters you have to move the battery and other stupid stuff so the filters fit. Unless your kit is rear mounted in which case nice! wish mine was lol save me a ton of hassle....

Greddy make some very compact foam filters, or K&N do some very small ones too.
Neither are ideal, but IMO even a poor filter is better than none at all as long as it doesnt massively affect performance.
Although wouldnt say the Greddy ones seem to filter that well either...but still better than nothing or a piece of **** screen.

Well the good thing is my fuel cell and battery is already in the back but the 6062's with a bigger hot sides on them should be good since I have them and they are fairly new they only have about 10 passes on on one and the other one is still in the box but the big reason I don't want to run twin its more money and everything has to be done twice 2 oil feeds 2 oil drains 2 wastegate 2 dump tubes and so on so I think a single will be a lot easier to work with! I think with rods, pistons, good heads and cam with the right turbo should put me in the 9's what do you all think!
