Given the size of the piping (downpipe specifically), this kit really isn't intended for larger than stock-inch applications...

Dont worry, Im keeping a running tally of every single nut, bolt, washer and the like and will document it in my thread once the build starts along with dyno numbers (for those who live and die by the dyno) and I ASSURE much track time so at the end of the day we'll all know what it costs to build and what its capbable of performing with what parts I keep.
One point alot of the guys who already have turbo kits I think are missing is the fact that while we may or may not save money building the kit ourselves, theres just something about building something that most people wont try not to mention that its alot easier to stomach the cost of one $500-600 chunk at a time, than coughing up $4-5k all at once.

Im not going to let the cat out of the bag quite yet, but Ive been involved in another build very similar with a 357ci mustang with the same MP70 that Im running and I assure you the results were extremely impressive.
Also keep in mind my 393ci motor is all stroke, its only a 3.905 bore.

500 to 550 puts you in a whole new world. Say byby to your bottem end. with FI on a LS1 making power isnt the problem. too much power is the problem.
60lb injectors. and i would look into the duel intank 255s. but you might need a return feed on the fuel line. Lots of hassle. Read the fuel upgrade that mightymouse wrote.

Odd I made 521 rwhp came only on 150 through a steel driveshaft, turbo 350 with a 3k verter unlocked and a 27" slick. Not to mention I stacked another 150 on it and it lived to see my single gt42 build and that was with 60k miles on the motor.

Sounds great for a truck. It's gonna suck when the turbo is all done at 4K RPMs though and back pressure is through the roof.

Do not buy a cheap **** turbo or use the chinesse specials.. Last thing u would want is for the center sections to gernade and send metal shavings all through ur engine.. And NO a intercooler wont catch all the shavings.. Dont believe me u will when ur main bearings tell u that caught some with a knock knock knock.. Been there done that.
