Any hp guess's on what it will make, it's a 241 stock headed stock cube ls1 with a comp cam .228 .236 .588- .601 on 114. I was think of somehwere in the lines of 12-15#'s with race gas.
Turbosmart boost controller thats listed on the GP by Jose.
Looks to be the one to get. I have the lowly dual stage turbosmart boost controller 12psi low boost and 18psi high boost for my two stages.
Is your oil return higher than the pan with the turbo placed right there, or do you have an oil pump on the return line? I was having some drain back issues with mine just a lil above the crank pulley. I had to restrict the oil line. I still get a puff of oil smoke when I have to stop hard or when I beat the car a lil.
