Re: boost ls really soon
i would buy a different mani, braced or not. and the turbo seems pretty big what kinda numbers are you expecting to hit? if you are not going to be forging internals i would not recommend that big of a turbo. you'll spool up really slow. But, if you are forging internals, then go for it and hit 450 whp (with a different mani that is)

Re: boost ls really soon
well im looking for 300-350 whp. i know ssauto crap is garbage but i bought it before i really started learning how crappy they are. i am going to upgrade it soon. just want to be boosted. any suggestions on a good quality mani that will not break the bank? im not a millionaire, hence im on HMT. i do plan on building up my engine soon also. do you think i will have that much lag with stock internals.
thx guys.

go jump off a cliff, that turbo is on the small side for an LS. and the turbo doesnt determine if he needs internals or not.
