Default I'm gonna build a custom turbo and I have some questions. . .

Hi all,

Ok, so following the meet and some discussion with some people there, I think I'm going to build a custom turbo setup for my f22. I'm going to bypass the kit and work with an operating budget of 1000-1500.

These are the details of my project, please comment and answer my questions if you can.

- Im planning on running very low boost. 6-8 lbs. What opinions do you all have on whether this can be done on stock internals?

-Probably going to grab a used turbo adn build around it, potentially the eclipse turbo since its tuned for 7 psi. What other important components will i need. Thus far, I know i need:

-Turbo
-Manifold
-Downpipe
-Wastegate
-Custom Pipe
-Fuel Pressure Regulator
-Fuel Rail

I'm told that for low boost like this, I can get away without an intercooler or a blow-off valve? is this so?

These are the components i might potentially need: Anything to add?

-Blow off valve
-New Fuel Pump
-Bigger Injectors
-Cam Gear (for retarding my timing)

I fully intend to get a compression test before i do anything, but right now, if i can manage to get a decent job, i think this will be a cool summer project. Let me know what you all think, thanks.
