Default Look what im finally building



I am finally adding boost to my truck after a long time of wanting it and doing the research it takes to build my own kit. I will be using stock manifolds turned backwards and building everything myself. I am hoping to be able to mount this monster in front of the crank pulley if possible. I have a 50mm wastegate already as well as a 25x12x3 intercooler im mounting up front. Gonna be doing a 2 bar SD tune on it with stock fuel pump intank and a NOS inline fuel pump. Gonna stick with 42s till i absolutely need some 60s. Im not shooting for rediculous power, Just want something that will be almost impossible to keep up with on the street.

You are correct but ive had boost before and i know when its time to stop just like nitrous. I think it will be plenty strong with fresh motor and t76.

How much boost do you plan on running? I'm running 10psi and hopefully you'll be able to see how it runs saturday night!

Only gonna run 8psi to start with and just go from there. It depends on how fuel system works and how it runs.
