What supporting mods??? I am working on getting my car ready for a turbo. It is going to be a GT45 running 10psi (roughly 610hp) on a cusom intercooled setup. What do i need to get ready? I know I will need injectors, a pump, and a clutch, but I dont know what size I will need of the injectors and pump and I dont know what else I will need. help me make a list

its stock as of right now. im planning on either: forging the bottom end and putting 6.0L heads on. Or building a stroker with low comp pistons and use LS6 heads. but that is later. I want to be ready for 600hp at 10psi before I do that so I can use the full potential right away
u wanting 600flywheel or rear wheel? i'll assume rearwheel
some good heads like TEAs or PRCs. AFRs if cost is no issue
street turbo cam from speed inc 225/225 .581 .581 on a 114lsa if u stay w/ a 346-348 or you can go with a lil of a reverse split. several cams to choose from, thats just my suggestion.
id say mcleod single disc w/ billet steel flywheel or spec 3i w/ same flywheel & maybe beef up the tranny as well. Prolly 42-60lbers and an in-tank 340 or 420, boost-a/f guages etc to keep an eye on things, and def. a BOV since its a 6sp
Might wanna look at one of speed incs complete fuel systems.
a 12-bolt cuz that turbos gonna make some torque!
u'll wanna forged bottom end eventually
hmmm..........just a few things i think u might wanna get
just my .02cents

the kit comes with the BOV
I know i dont need H/C to make it to 600hp. The test car this kit was put on was a stock motor (except for forged pistons/rods) and with a good tune it made 612rwhp at 10psi. what you listed there seems like im shooting for 800hp, not 600.

Um, have you looked at the compressor map for the GT45? At 1.68 pressure ratio, you're not even on the map. You should probably consider either raising the boost to 20 pounds or so, or maybe consider another turbo.
