Re:How Much Boost?
 
The hack sounds so damn technical to me. What about the Vortech FMU?

Don't turbo yourself until you've got all this down, the hack really isn't that complicated.
If you ---- up fuel management like I did, you'll need a new engine faster then a nerd pops a woody.

Yeah, I too was going to use just an FMu for fuel management, but I said what the hell, if I'm spending all this time and money to turbo my car safely, I might as well get a fuel management that's a little more reliable than an FMU. I chose to go with the SMC and 450 injectors, and it's easy as ---- to instal and tune. :)

Would a T25 be too big for my motor?

t25 would be way to small...

You need a pretty large turbo for a GSR..

I have a choice between a Garret T3/T4 hybrid and a T25. Out of the two choices the hybrid would be a better bet, right? The reason I ask is because the T25 is a complete setup with everything I need to throw it on for like $1500. That sounded like a good deal to me.

ya that T-25 at 6500 rpms on a GSR will blow ass, dont even mess with it. Go with the T3/T4 its the better turbo and you will be happier.

(IMO)

Re:How Much Boost?
 
Thanks again. I heard the T25 starts early and stops too soon. But the hybrid starts later (which will help with that pesky non-hooking up issue) and continues to pull until 10,000 or so (right?).
