Default Is this possible?

Is it possible to run a pretty much near stock 92k mile T/A with an STS Turbo, and FMIC? Cuz wouldnt it just have to be running on low boost?

It would have to be on low boost, 7 or below. Because an ls1 is not built for boost.

Simply put yes. Keep the boost low, and have a spot on tune, don't get greedy and it should last a long time

you could for a little while, but that setup wont be reliable for long.

not that its an ls1, but my lt1 held 8 psi bone stock for about 3 months before it got blowby...so id be careful..Im sure an ls1 can handle a bit more but id keep it low to be safe..Unless your gonna build your motor, id just do heads and a cam.
