Basic Turbo Question? Hey everyone
I got a 6.0 LS2 I'm planning on turboing. Bought the classic eBay gt45 turbo, planning to go around 600whp or so, staying under 12psi. My question is what is the best way to manage boost for this? For a wastegate setup will a dual 40mm suffice or should I go with a single? Also what is the best way to manage the wastegate pressure? I have a Holley terminator X, so I could use that as the boost controller, but should I use a single or dual solenoid valve setup? Do I actually need a dome pressure sensor? At this low boost level is a higher map sensor needed? Not trying to break the bank too bad on this. Apologies for my ignorance as this will be my first turbo swap.
Thanks
