Custom turbo build

I am wanting to build a custom rear mount turbo setup and I would like some advice on what I need to get to have a nice setup with room to expand later if needed. What size turbo...T76, T3, T4? Wastegate...38mm, 50mm? BOV? What size and type piping? Intercooler since its in the rear? What would be the fuel requirements to push 500 rwhp? Thanks in advance.

Go with a T4 (t67),38mm gate from turbosmart and 50mm bov. Piping just keep it the same size as the turbo outlet or maybe 1/2" bigger.

Thanks for all the input guys. Also one more thing I'm not sure about is what happens with the MAF when a turbo is installed, how does the car know when it needs the extra fuel.

act like you are air going into the intake. it's after the air box and it's the only metal box thing before the TB.

Is the stock MAF fine or will I need an aftermarket one? Sorry for all the stupid questions.

my bad man, i thought you just said where is it located i did not realize it said after a turbo install, i'm not a FI guy so i'm not sure. i would assume the same place though i'm sure someone else can help you that actually has a turbo.

Around the same area..... but you run into the problem of maxing it...... then your just adding fuel up top and really your tuning blind....... that why people go with aftermarket solutions.... IE BS3, FAST, Mega squirt, MAF T Pro....
