I would liek too but no way will they fit over my BBK when it goes on. So i would only be able to use them if I keep my rear brakes stock.
. In the end the area under the Tq curve is what moves the butt dyno and wins races
With your BB turbos you should have lots of low end Tq.
Oh don't forget the boost controller since you mentioned wanting to run different boost levels rather than stick to waste gate pressure. EVC6 rocks. Also consider external wastegates (open or not), its the only thing I would have done differently.

i have externals im pretty sure ill double check with frank
the 550 is the same kit frank is running on his car and he has allot of experience with it soooo im looking for it to turn out pretty sick!!
JWT are internal gates. dont have an option there. I dont even think the 850BB kit has external gates Just not an option with JWT.
You can make any HP you want, just play with the boost. You want 430, no reason you cant get 430.

If Frank Hill is doing your install he will know the injectors, he did Karls (ibkarlito) work as well. I am in no hurry to sell them they are not advertised but if you want them let me know they are HKS 680cc with the clips i paid Karl $500 for them but they have just been sitting in my garage since I ended up going with 1000cc injectors so just to get they out of my garage $350 shipped and they are yours. Also if ou have not yet bought the JWT 530bb kit I would buy the 700bb kit. It gives you room to grow I bought the 530bb kit myself and once you get a built engine you will find the 530 kit limits you way to much the 700 kit would be a better option IMO. To upgrade after the fact you have to buy new turbos and one new manifold I think it was over $2500 but to buy the 700bb the first time is only $800-1000 if I recall right. Also upgrade the fuel pump from 190 to a 255, i think JWT does that for a few extra bucks. Just a few things I regretted when i did my first build.

As far as HP goes I have no goal there. I just want a solid tune that I can run at the track and not have to worry too much. So no higher then 9 psi max and if I remember correctly form talking to the tuner not *advancing the timing* and running it slightly on the rich side so to be sure the engine isnt having any extra stress...
My goal is to have as reliable a set up as you can have when FI on this platform.
