good luck with the build, it sound pretty mean, but imo ud be better off with smaller cubes for big hp with a rearmount turbo.

.86 AR is what I will go with...
Just spoke with Jose yesterday (Thanks man!!!) and he gave me some good advice on my turbo. Looks like I will go with the newer 76MPS that DrTurbo was talking about. Jose belives with the setup I am going for and with the piping and engine upgrades I should see close to 1200 at the crank... you do the math.
Cant wait!!!

The turbo can support up to 1200hp max, the whole key and problem like Jose said is getting enough heat to it and keeping it within the piping. He has some equations written down on the boards and it appears that just the difference between 1500EGT and ~1000EGT is over 10 lbs extra of back pressure. So at 10psi that is the difference between a 2:1 setup and a 3:1 setup.....yikes. You really don't see the difference until its done on paper.

Trying to retain as much temp as possible... I may even blanket the turbo.
