Boost Coming!
Well I didn't plan on doing anything but bolt-ons but I got a deal on a STS turbo setup. It won't be soon but I can't wait to see what it will do.

Can't say that I blame you. That is an incredible price! :thumbsup: If you don't mind a suggestion.... Get all the pipes Jet Hot coated. Inside and out. I don't know if STS made any improvements on the coating they used when I got my system, but the pipes are just mild steel, and the coating they used, well, it's obviously not the best in the world. There is some rusting evident. Also pull the housings off of the turbos and get them coated inside and out. |

I understand that the new systems come with two oil scavenge pumps now. When I got my system they use a single pump, which seems to work fine.
I assume the system is used then? Hopefully the turbos are OK. I recently had mine rebuilt as the impeller shafts had play in them. Plus I needed to go to larger housings with the new engine. You'll enjoy the hell out of it when you get that installed in your car... :thumbsup: Turbos give a real interesting surge of power when they spool up under load. |

6psi is probably the highest you should go on the stock LS7. I think GM was trying to tell us something when they decided against using the LS7 block as the base for the LS9 engine and went with the LS3 block instead.
Still, 6psi will give you an acceptable amount of boost. :thumbsup: |
I agree. I will keep the boost low.
