What type of fuel management are you gonna run? Are you gonna have it tuned?

You will be fine with either turbo at that boost level. You are really playing it safe. I'd say you could at least go to 8 psi on those turbos. But of course you could kill your motor at 3 psi. if you are running lean or too much timing so your tune is extremely important to your engine lasting.

Very true. Sure, you can pick up another d15 block for cheap, but who says he wants to do all that work cause he blew up the first motor due to no tuning. I wasn't suggesting to dyno tune the d15. It would be in his best interest to hook up with someone with a wideband to help him out with the tune and at least get some decent afr's.

I know the blocks are cheap but then you have to take time and labor into consideration. I'd rather spend $200 on a dyno gettiing my car tuned right then not tuning at all and have my motor blow evey 3 months. Yeah only $50, but what about towing costs when your assed out on the side of the road, etc.... just my $0.02.

He needs to worry more about fuel management than what turbo to run. B/c he wants reliablity than hp, so read more on what fuel management to invest in. And yes tuning is very important in any turbo kit.

Some times u could get a block for FREE ;). If u want to play it safe, just get xtra parts of certain things like blocks, trannies, mani, turbo's,etc. That's if u have the funds to do so, and even then u could get most of these things free. U gotta look around for a while tho. That's how i get my parts cheap/FREE.

justrun a good fuel setup and tune it decent. You dont want to be stuck on the side of the road waiting for a tow when you are on your way to work. Id run 10-12 psi and not be scared at all
