i am very new to turbo setups, and i need advice on what BOV and wastegate i should get.. this will be a single turbo application pushing 6-8psi on a stock internal ls1..im hoping for 500-525 rwhp

would a turbonetics evolution 38mm wastegate be big enough??

or should i go for something bigger.. i trying to stay on a budget, but also want decent parts..

also what brand and model BOV should i get.. sponsor links would be great, and if they are not a sponsor please send me the link in a PM

keep in mind i am on a budget, but dont want crap parts..

i also dont mind if the parts are used as long as they are in good working condition

thanks

EDIT: what do i need to run a boost controller.. i see eboost2 is pretty common... how does that work with the wastegate?? and will it work for any?

 

the turbonetics evolution 38mm wastegate will work just fine so buy it throw it on and go kill some mustangs

 

KLRWS6 is selling a Tial BOV if you want to give him a PM. I have the same from STS and it works just fine.

I'm sure others will reccomend another brand of BOV like Turbonetics, Greddy, etc. but I think domestics should stay away from the ricey sounding BOV's, but everyone has their own opinion!

 

yeah i dont want mine super loud, im going for more of a sleeper setup, im actually ditching my LMII exaust and am gonna run something quieter with an electric cutout..

i found a pretty good deal on a turbonetics BOV and wastegate and turbo

the turbonetics evolution 38mm wastgate is 219.00
and the turbonetics raptor BOV is 199.00
he also has a turbonetics 60-1 w/ a t4 flange for 831.00 any AR (non ball bearing) the ball bearing turbo is 1328.00 in any AR.. everything is brand new

he said if i order all that stuff he will knock down the prices for me.. does this seem like a good deal, and should i get the BB turbo instead of the non BB.. this isnt going to be a drag car, just my DD

 

be careful when tuning with that cutout.
You can get tial or turbonetics for $200-220shipped. Both will do fine.

I wouldn't expect much more than 475rwhp from a 60-1, so don't be disappointed if it doesnt get you in the 500 mark

Goodluck

 

Im kind of in the same boat as you. Im pretty new with turbos and have a semi budget build. Heres what im doing
Stock bottom end
ls6 cam
6.0 heads with heavy duty springs/retainers
Polished intake
Fasst fuel rails
pt76gts turbo
60 lb injectors
tial 50mm bov
tial 44mm WG with 9 psi spring

To me thats a budget build, im hoping to see over 600 hp w/ a good tune.

 

well i was hoping for slightly above 500, so i may be searching for a different turbo then.. i was even thinking of doing a 50 shot of nitrous to lower the air temps and give me some more power but i don't wanna get to greedy and grenade my motor..

i need a turbo with a 4" inlet, a 2.5 to 3" outlet and it needs to have a 3" exaust out so if you have any suggestions let me know.. it also needs a t4 flange

 

IMO a T67 with a .81 exhaust housing would be a pretty good combo. It'll flow good enough to make 475+ without needing 7+psi. Standard garrett has 4"in, 2.5"out, 3.5"exhaust and they sell for around $900.

My other advice would be, the bigger IC the better (obviously) when messing with numbers in the 500s. Also don't forget a wideband and fuel pressure guage.
