Re: i have some qustshions
You need to list what the rest of your setup includes...it's hard to figure out what you have based on that....um....description.
...and for God's sake use spell check or proofread...damn....
You're probably going to have issues if the crank is in the pistons, that definitely hurts performance. It adds too much weight to the pistons and the motor is going to have a hard time revving to keep up with the turbos. Take the crank out of the pistons to lighten them up...you might want to bore the pistons out too to really lighten them up..................

Glad to hear you've replaced the belts. You'll have to make sure they are in good shape for the turbo pully's.

Re: i have some qustshions
How low of compression are you running? You don't want anymore than 85 PSI when you do a compression test on the motor, otherwise you might run into problems with boost.

Re: i have some qustshions
On your next trip to Summit, you'll need:
-new fuel system (complete from fuel pump to injectors)
-new ignition system
-new pistons, rods, rings, crank, etc, etc, unless you want to send your crankshaft flying through your oil pan.
-and honestly by the time youre all done with this youd be better of with a mild 350 crate in there. Trust me.
Good luck tho bud.
