slant 6 rebuild and upgrade list

Which 'tiny turbos' are you talking about? Have you looked at the Mitsubishi series of turbos? Some of them look like a reasonable fit to the 225 at 5000 RPM for lower boosts. In fact, they can easily push past 8-10 psi on the 225 engine size. The reason I thought of them is because I use a 16G Super on my 2.6L rally engine, and with the right impeller blade, the dang thing is already burbling and turning at 800 RPM idle. Quick boost right off of idle; it is all in the impeller blade.

Are you planning on a boost bypass valve? If so, it makes it easier to make the boost come up early and them limit it to what you want.

Not ever being out of school is a good thing!
No I have not looked at the mitsubishi series. Have you seen a map of them?I am still trying to learn to read them right though. Yes I plan on using using a Tial adjustable blowoff or bypass valve(they are similar in usage are they not? and if not why?) I was looking at the hot.63 (is this too big for the 225?) cold side impeller.70 and trying to find a good map of the darn thing to keep me in the power range without running out of steam top end with an early start in spooling. All options for the turbo are open right now since I don't know enough to choose right now.

it seem that I'm in school more than out these days by trying to learn new stuff all the time.
