Daz im still in the process of gettin parts together but at the moment im using a ebay T70 on a stock 4.8l. Tripplblack has a couple more things done to his.
a have a Z06 cam and valvesprings & LS6 oil pump. I plan on ARP main cap,rod, and head studs. I'm buying my turbo hotside piping from a member here. I was planning on using the same turbo as you or the 76mm like my dads, my fuel pump can handle 600hp FI and 800hp NA and I was going to go overkill on the injectors at 72lbs. I don't know what numbers I'll make but considering the car only weighs around 2400lb-2700lb, it should be a monster.

With that being said I feel my tune that is a work in progress is pretty good considering, that my 4.8 w/ms3 cam holds a steady 700rpm idle and very minmal surging .
Anyways I know every set up is different but there should be minmal backpresure until boost is being made and at that point it should be in open loop, I would imagine that you have had to deal with a quite a bit of cars with improperly sized turbo causing exsessive backpressure issues .
I wonder if a o2 sensor from a lnf or other factory turbo equipped o2 would would work better in this situations , I'm sure there probably designed to work with backpressure ?

Back on topic sorry for the
yes it was sarcasm... sorry .....like i said some cars dont have issues, some do, like a turbo silverado i tuned with a T76... the new camaros with the turbonetics kit seem to do ok with the backpressure as long as you force it into PE at 85 or so kpa... my New 5.0 mustang also doesnt seem to care much about the factory widebands being before my turbo, and that car is always in closed loop even at WOT.... every factory equipped car i know of has o2's in the downpipes/s

no that wont work because the its going to try and trim fuel on one bank, the readings it seeing is for both banks.... i know the ford guys change there bank select in the tune so it will trim all 8 cyl on one o2 sensor... i want to try this with a ls, just have not had the chance...
