The MSD Launch control for the L8 ECU is set at just under 4k, works well in my car but dose give me traction problems with my rear tires only being 235, changing the wheels so i can go wider with Toyo R888 all round.

The external wastegate will have its own pipe, going to try and make a quick release fitting so i can have the option of a quiet or fun pipe.
When looking at the GT35 on line there is so many different types

Ported Shroud (Anti-surge) (Yes please)
Polished Housing (Yes please)
Turbine Housing A/R: (Feck knows)
Exhaust housing size (Feck knows)
Turbine inlet flange (is it a T3 on the 2wd sierra manifold)
Exhaust Flange (what is the standard Cosworth 3 stud flange called)
Wastegate size (Feck Knows)
Ball bearing, journal bearing, dual bearing, R type.

So many options, like you say I will have to talk to maybe MSD as they will be live mapping it, and the turbo company that make them.
This will be the 3rd turbo on the car so want the best of everything as don't want to change it again.

I will add the bonnet spacers to the list too, just as well I’m working every day till the end of the year lol.
