I have a rebuilt stock bottom end that has been tested several times on 30+ lbs of boost (thanks to donniekak)

I want to do injectors first but i need to know what size for my final setup, then i'll do the head build (I know the power band will be out of the range of the e3), and finally i'll do the turbo setup. I plan on buying it at parts but I only want to buy once and not buy something then upgrade later

My current mods are

e3 with EW setup
walbro 255
eprom
spearco FM
tial bov
tial 38mm wastegate

Now i'm planning out what to buy for my final build opinions are wanted about anything

This is what I know for sure:

Kelford 272s
Kiggly valve springs and retainers
3g lifters
e85
v3 lite

Now my unsure:

What turbo I want to do a twin scroll (thinking 35r or FP3056)
Injectors (1000c or bigger but unsure what size)
Which manifold for turbo
What wastegate size

Anything else that i'm forgetting please suggest as well
 
hey man, I'll ask you the same thing that I ask all of my customers.....

1. What kind of power do you want to make and drive on on a daily, pump gas basis.
2. What are you uses for the car? Weekend Warrior? Street Car? Track Car?
3. What kind of over all budget did you have in mind?

Those are KEY to knowing what to suggest. You've got a pretty common path going so far so it's nothing too far fetched but I've been in this business for a long time and i can tell you that a lot of times, people are looking for bigger turbos than they really need and same with a lot of the supporting mods.
