Well I went with the 70mm for quicker spool but have a nice spec'd EPS custom cam that and I quote"It will be big enough that you can put a serious amount of boost to the engine, but still small enough that it will still have good response and drivability."
On the get list is:
Precision 46mm wastegate
Tial 50mm BOV
E-street boost controller
Dual Walbro 255s w/ wiring kits and Hobbs switch.
60 or 80 injectors. Not sure yet.
Meth injection
Circle D stall
Atomic will tune.
Not sure on exhaust yet.
Of course built trans
What are the little things that I am missing?? I've never ran boost before!
I have an A pillar gauge pod.

Sounds like fun! I am loving my turbo 4.8 daily driver. I run 9 for daily abuse then 12-13 for weekend fun. I'm still all stock on the motor side, injectors are 42lb, and flex fuel pump for now. My circle d 3200 is on its way to me now just for a quicker launch, I agree with a smaller cam as we are short on the displacement side of things.
Any questions just ask you are in for some fun!

Ok, so I have a noob question... Will a precision 46mm WG and Tial 50mm BOV bolt right onto my On3kit? Would you recommend a different brand WG and BOV? Want to upgrade them so I just need to make sure I don't need to get a particular one.
