i dont have money for for shinny turbonetics parts,
a gm-8 is a Borgwarner that came of the 6.5L diesels, they are good for 500hp and have stronger center shafts then most garret turbos,
a return style system isnt going to cost me that much, ill use the mercury cougar fuel rail and fpr, then just run a line back to the tank, port and polishing is pretty easy too, i watch a professional do a head, and its not rocket science, it just take a long time, and your have to be careful. and stock cranks are good for 500hp, im just going to get someone to micropolish it.
honestly dude, you blow things out of proportion.
the only real thing that i might blow my engine from is the tuning. ive never tunned before so being a tuning noob i might blow my engine, and im really considering running megasquirt, so that just adds to the problem, learning a whole new system.
but over all, just having some fabrication skills and a little bit of knowledge its really easy.
