Thanks.
Knowing how much I have into this system and how well it performs, I think the price is great. (Just the Innovative ball bearing turbo and wastegate are over $3,000)

All right, I'm serious about snagging this deal but I need some information first. I have FI experience from racing an RX-7 TII back in the day and I learned that fuel managment is the #1 priority...so
Is a FAST system or equivalent required/ recommended/ a really, really good idea/ not necessary to make this kid of horsepower reliably? Or can I stick to LTIEdit and a set if larger injectors?
Speaking of of injectors what are you running, 50# ?
Are upgraded fuel rails necessary... if so what kind?
In pic # 35 you can see how close the turbo is to the balancer, just how close is it?
What kind of steel are the headers made from in case I have to modify them?
Any more information would be very usefull, I just bought a house and have to see if I can afford this right now. TimberSS- it's your old LT-4 heads and intake this would be pumping through.

I would strongly recommend a F.A.S.T. or DFI system along with a 'built' engine and proper fuel system. I ran stock lines/rails with dual intank walbro 255's up to the 740rwhp level. I'm sure they could have went further. (this was with 83lb injectors).
You 'could' use this system with the stock ecu, but I feel it's unsafe and horsepower would be limited by injector size. (If you're only looking for around 500rwhp this system is a bit overkill).
The turbo compressor housing is about .175 away from the belt. The belt can be changed with the turbo installed, so can the dampner. Don't worry, it doesn' t hit
The headers are made from 1 5/8 16 gauge mild steel, ceramic coated.

Excellent, while I have some experience with tuning, and some experience with turbocharging I am by no means an expert at either. At the same time, I am not a novice and surely am not stupid enough to tackle something I cannot handle. With this in mind, can you send me all the information you can about what you were running with this setup as well as other options or recommendations after using your setup.
Please drop me an email at ryancjohnston@hotmail.com
I would probably use the FAST ECU since it looks like the most well rounded, user friendly option out there. My questions include:
What cam specs are were you using?
Do you need a remote IAC?
What kind of boost control do you recommend?
What kind of valvtrain is is necessary?
Anything else that came up in your install/ tuning.
Thanks in advance for your time, I assure you it is not wasted.
