Default First steps towards BOOSTED

Well, not really the first. I have 317 heads and now eboost2 (sleeper series). Nothing special to report here, just had to share with yall cause I'm stoked about going boosted. Even if it takes forever, which it will.

Every nut,bolt,clamp,fitting,tubing etc etc that came with is very high quality stuff. I'm going to take my damn time with selecting products for my set-up. Can't rush quality!

Here's what I have in mind though:


370 iron 8.2-8.5 comp.
317 heads unported
twin t-61's innovative BB/ truck manifolds (a/c) replicating stenod TT turbo placement
twin turbosmart wastegates 38mm
megasonic BOV 50mm
ported stock TB
custom air/air intercooler
ls6 intake manifold
96 lb injectors
speed inc rails
nasty tank
fuel lab reg.
fatass pump? weldon/magnafuel
bs3
abs, pb, ps, and m6




something like that for starters.

how much does the eboost2 run? I was looking at the HKS EVC because it is $500... And isn't the Eboost2 a lot more?

It should run pretty good once it's finished... Don't 1/2 *** it... =)

Do it right, or don't do it at all.
