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!

I'm jealous! Congrats on the purchase. Keep us posted on the build and your power numbers. I will hopefully be going down this road soon.

Sounds like you got everything. As far as exhaust ill tell you what a bunch of people on PT told me, get the magnaflow 30 it does sound killer!
since your planning on over 10psi get 80 inj. Man go get some gaskets and get to work!

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.
