Evening everyone.
Ive Decided i want some boost. small boost. 6-10psi
so i went and got a gt3582 turbo, and the aeroflow ve exhaust kit ect ect to bolt on.
ive seen alot of youtube videos from people like boost gumps running 700+hp on l98 stock bottoms
so i wasnt going to bother about new pistons and rods for low boost
so in saying that. what sort of head gaskets ect do i need to lower the compression?
or are people running these numbers on stock compression also lol
anyone here have a turbo l98 with some insight on what i need?

ive got most things down to the maffless delete and 5litre sensor..but im stuck with head gaskets

go with cosmetic MLX gaskets at the right thickness required after u check PVC as id recommend a camshaft also to help the stock engine survive, 6-10psi is fine on stock bottom end but i doubt u will get the the 700hp without more boost of going to ethanol fuel (or unless ur on a hub dyno) the camshaft helps lower the dynamic compression
