Need help puting a turbo on.....
I am putting a turbo on my monte carlo. It has a new 350 GM crate engine, 507/510 cam, 64 cc dart iron eagle heads edelbrock intake. I am putting a garret 74.5 mm turbo on it. I know I have to get a blow thru carb for it to work. What should I set my timing at? I know that boost is regulated at the wastegate, but how do I start it up with 8 lbs of boost max? Do I open the wastegate all the way and adjust to 8 lbs of boost? I would like to be at 8 lbs of boost max at 6500 rpm. Is the carb tuning just like a regular 4150 carb, change jets til you get it right? Please help so I dont melt my pistons or blow my head gaskets!
