Re: ls turbo
Depends on turbo size, what your motor will be able to handle, how you're going to tune it, how much real life knowledge you have compared to how much time you wasted making this post instead of doing the necessary research. Research noob, research...then ask real questions later on after you've learned some things

Re: ls boost?
Stock B18b block can handle 400HP, I wouldn't personally try to push it without good internals. I would keep it at about 250 with a block guard, just my opinion. I am pushing 240 with no probs yet, and I even push it hard at the track.

How do I know? Because I tried a 14b on an LS and netted a mind boggling (sarcasm :P) 209hp @ 14psi. The tdo5h 16g was a slighlty better improvement, but not by too much more. Don't even waste your time...go for a minimum of a large t3.
