What size Turbos are recomended now? I would think 88-91 range. My 106 seems like a good fit for the 535 so far.
He was surprised to see it on there and told me he never suggests using one on a boosted application. But, I made a mistake that he found. I had the hoses hooked up wrong. I even marked them when I tested it in the garage, I guess I got in a hurry and swapped them. But I was still pushing oil out.


I called and talked with precison and they recommend a 114 or twin mid frame 94's. I'm debating on building a smaller cubic inch motor or buying larger turbo's. By the time I buy a new block and pistons I'm not far off from turbo's, headers, and all the cold side tubing.
