Turbo choice

V8_DSM gave some great advice also. He also sounds like he has a little experience with turbo's.
Regarding wastegate's, if you are going to opt for "new", then the Turbosmart gates or the Turbonetics are probably the best deals going right now. I can PM you a quote if you want.
It's been a long time Scott, maybe we should just start from a clean slate, huh? Give me a call or PM if I can help in any way with your project.

Just make sure you pick the right turbo for your choice. Don't bother with using compressor maps though cause they can not be used with the STS kit. You will have to mix and match A/R's and compressor wheels to get it right and not suffer the spool up problems the others are having.

What combination do you suggest using?
Scott
Depends on your goals and what you want to spool by. Also what your budget is. To me the small shaft T70 from master power with the .68A/R is the best for anything up to 600rwhp. Since the exhaust gases are much cooler with the STS setup, your compressor map will shift leftward.

Jose,
Sounds good, I would like to achieve 500-550RWHP, that is my goal. Thanks for the input. What about a waste gate (size) Rob R said to get turbo smart or turbonetics which sounds like the way to go but what about the size, I'd go with what ever will be best, internal or external you tell me or maybe Rob can chime in also Thanks for the input.

Scott for the money the turbosmart, tial or T-netics will do the job. For the $$ I would use the racegate from T-netics or the progate from turbosmart. I carry Tial ones also, but the jury is still out (at least to me) for using them with leaded fuels (a la race fuel).
