you wanna run 20psi w/ a v8? Better build a very $trong motor. Most stockers can handle 5-10psi.

Might wanna give these guys a call: http://www.turbotechnologyinc.com/ They have some nice turbo kits for v8s.

be careful of the turbonetics ct-26 upgrade if they use thier hotside. The wastegate will stick and cause overboost if they haven't fixed it yet (last I heard they weren't interested in fixing it at all).

wade this motor is not stock. all upgrades for large boost amounts are being taken into consideration. my goal dare i say it is somewhere just shyof 1k. this will be a slow over time build because two full on v8 conversions will kill me.
