Default Which BOVs and WGs are preferred???

Just like the title...

I am getting ready to order up the misc parts and pieces for my TT setup and need some input.

I was originally planning on running Tial 38mm WGs and Tial BOVs.

The setup will be:

iron 408ci 9.2:1 compression with all the upgraded goodies
ET 240cc heads
twin GT42R turbos
all custom piping

So what brand/size WGs and BOVs do you guys recommend?

Also what would you guys suggest for an IC capable of supporting big power? Air to Air preferably.

Thanks

Single Tial BOV. Unless automatic. Twins will more than likely blow off too much boost pressure in between shifts in a manual car.

Twin 38mm Turbosmart Ultragates (High Temp).

Precision Cored, Bar and Plate intercooler. Good for roughly 1500 rwhp.

Done.

We use JGS, Turbosmart, Tial, HKS...etc. For the money and quality the Turbosmart and JGS are hard to beat. As for BOV's......zero reverse pressure is what you want between shifts....so having 2 BOV's is not a problem. Not enough causes compressor surge.

Yup... Jose took care of me and I wend with JGS 56mm BOVs and JGS 50mm WGs. Also ordered an AEM injector driver, 96# injectors, and E-Boost 2 Boost Controller.

The parts and pieces are beginning to collect again and Im so pumped to start working on the GTO again! w00t

I agree with this WG set-up... I prefer Greddy for BOV's.

LOL... I had it ordered but my CC wouldnt let me charge that much in one day... and I happened to talk to someone that wanted to do the custom TT setup for me locally. So I just cancelled my APS order since I was having issues... Things happen for a reason... and apparently someone wants me to build a custom TT setup on my Goat.
