what do you guys think, i need to find a wastegate and BOV now

 

What criteria did you use to determine this turbo is what you actually need/want? Do you know what you actually bought, as far as application is concerned?

 

i read up on other turbo'ed lt1's and some people reccomend the T04 turbo. The only problem i for see is the cooling set up, thats what i have to figure out yet

 

That's what people run on Civics. T60+ for LT1/LS1's. I wouldn't be soo worried about BOV and Wastegate either. Good luck finding someone to custom build you the pipes then have fun installing it!!!!

 

yea, indeed, some people do use them on civics. Obviously not the stock internals on the engine though. I am only going to run about 8-9 lbs of boost on my engine. DO you even have a clue what a BOV or wastegate do? A BOV should be used when ever using forced induction, i mean do you really want air being forced into the turbo the wrong way. and as far as the pipes. thats all me

 

Umm, okay man!! Have enough hostility?? All I'm saying about the BOV and Wastegate is that you can GET THEM ANYWHERE!!! Good luck finding the stuff you can't get anywhere. Trust me, I went to about 20 different machine shops around here for turbo manifold for 99 LS1. They all pretty much laughed. None of the shops want to take the risk to build something that has to be done soo perfect. The bottom line is, they don't want to take responsibilty for doing a bad job building it so they won't try!! Because of the extreme heat and the turbochargers weight they tend to crack unless done perfect!! And yes, I think I know what a BOV and Wastegate do considering I running 20psi right now!!! How about you??

 

d00d, if ya got the know how to build the turbo manifold then kickass!! By the way, what kind of wastegate ya gonna get?? I like the HKS but it's DAMN expensive!! Don't know how much better it is than the rest to justify the extra $300.
