from what i can find people say they are definitely good for 8-10 psi range for a ls1 and a t76. my wg spring pressure is at 8, boost controller will up it 1 more on lowest setting. i will just let it set at what ever it wants and start from there. 8lb, 9lb, 10lb w.e.... lol

if it cant keep it at 10 then i will get bigger... unless i can find a 60 for the same price as this one will sell for

if it can hold 9psi till redline you wont have and problem with it but if it doesnt time for another or a 60. and this 60 is a big mother F

With that size motor the wastegate he picked will work just fine for that turbo.

If you were trying to put a huge turbo on a 4 cylinder you need a big WG. Not the case with a v8.

actually the more displacement you have the more air you have to let off in order to keep the boost down.

Wastegate size is NOT based on Turbo Size.

It's based on volume of air, therefore a V8 with a larger displacement would need to be able to control that extra volume.

Thanks Charles and Tim wasnt in the mood to do turbo 101 lol.

all the guys on the turbo forums say the 44mm is plenty big enough to support the boost i want... the only thing they say that could cause a problem is that it is at a 90* off the collector. others say theirs is like that and they can run the boost as low as they want...???

really there isnt any other way to do it with all the room under the focus's hood, lol... any way we will see what it will do..

as for updates. i got the arp rod bolts in, oil return fitting on, oil pan on and gasketed, valve covers on and gasketed,

waiting on new IM bolts bolts to come in cause they are actually long for the LS1 manifold than the truck manifold. and im waiting on a new TB gasket cause its a little diff shape around the IAC. also ordered some new plug wires cause the ones i have are really old.

im going to put the ex manifolds on today... i decided to wrap them as well.
