I'm starting my blow thru tubro project this winter on my 63 chevyll, I've done lots of research. I'm going to use a pt-88, debating whether or not to use a T6 OR T4 housing, I still need some tips on what is a good wastegate to use and what size to use (25psi max. boost). Also, has anyone here used the SCE ICS Titan head gaskets. How good do they work.

Go with a t6 housing that way you can move up to a bigger turbo with minimal work later

I would not use the SCE I know of a lot of guys with not that 24 psi and leaking SCE.
FelPro MLS are even better than the Cometics.
T-6 is the way to go.

X3 for the Felpro MLS and TF housing. As for the BOV and WG go with JGS units. You cant beat the twist adjustment of the WG vs. chaging springs.

It's unanimous Felpro MLS it is....which JGS wastegate do you recommend? JGS400 or JGS500. I'm assuming the placement of the WG should be after the point where the headers merge together. What is the rule of thumb for WG inlet and outlet pipe length?

After the merge 50mm W/G should do.

I wished they sponsored us.
We like the cometics over any copper or any other brands of MLS
