Default boosting an LT1

I was planning in a about 6-8 months to Turbo my 93 z28, i have 132 k on it

I had planned to do a low end rebuild, pistons, arms, crank and maybe going to a 355.etc. then we have a guy in our town who has just gotten finished Turboing his lt1 and the guy says he might start selling his kits. Looking at a chunk of change but in my case i think its worth it.

Just wondering if anyone has any input

let me get my car up and running again with the forged bottom end and I will take you for a ride, as well as get some numbers for you. with the stock 10 bolt it should still be right around 12.0 @ 125+ on very low boost. 6 psi roughly.

on a side note, you should come see the 98 now that we have it tuned, wow, it just smokes the tires.
