Not to be a Dick but this has been beaten to death. Just do a search and every thing you are looking for is there.
 

Really depends on what fuel you will be running it on. 8.5-9:1 if you're running in on mainly pump gas, 10:1 if it's gonna be race gas or E85.

I would recommend the size pistons that fit in the bore. But that's just me.

hey guys I think that I am going to go with 9-1 and go .20 over I don't want ot have too much lag and I have done research and I am going to go with that set up. Soon as I get my parts I will start posting pics and get it back together running with that nice new turbo....
 

I went with 9.5-1 on my stroker. Off-boost driving is wonderful. Throttle response for days and damn near insta-boost. But will limit boost if i dont run the meth. The engine is almost broke in and the tune isnt spot-on yet. A work in progress still.

Shearer Fabrications makes a manifold that would probably work for you (top mount twin scroll T4) don't assume it will be cheap.

Honestly, you might want to put that GT40 to the side for a while until you get all the other stuff sorted out. Realistically, once you're at that size turbo, questions about which manifold, piston, etc should either have obvious answers, or the question should be a lot more pointed and detailed.

well I understand the gt40 being it's size and what power it is capable of I understand what I would like to do.....I have been building my 7g galant for a long time and I am not in a big rush to finish it so all my parts that I was going to put on my 7g is going on my 6g....So long story short I have been doing this for a while and I will do it right one time only. I really want to keep all my options open that is why I always ask question and I am always researching parts so I guess in the end I really know what I want I just think there is always better ways of doing things...but thank you for the sugguestion.

okay I will check that site out. My drive train is oem. I am going to be getting the motor and stuff right before I take my tranny down I will do all the tranny work myself I just want to do things one at a time.....oh but I have a act 2600, fid fly wheel. that is it. I have also decided that I am going to sell my eagle rods and get gorden rods and my kiggly girdle and I am still making a decision on pistions...still thinkin
 

I ran eagles with no problems.

You don't *need huge, gangster, aluminum rods to make big power, chromoly is tough as hell.

The powerband on this turbo on a 2.0 is about 5k-9k.

Make sure that all of your components will spin that high. (Engine, trans, fuel system, wastegates,etc)

You have a lot of work ahead of you, if you don't want to be ultimately dissapointed by your new turbo purchase.

GT40>E316G , but if its not setup correctly the 16g's will walk by you.

I hope your in for the long haul...

Well 638 and I will both tell you that DS-Map is about $500 or so better than DSMlink, seeing as it works just as well and is free software. Personally, I will always take speed density over a maf sensor.

Neither is a stand-alone system, they are both just remapped stock ecu. Just about everyone that talks about a standalone ECU is referring to a haltec, motec, or AEM system. Generally a universal ECU that can be put on anything and needs to be tuned from scratch and has every variable adjustable.
