if you are not wanting to run 7+ lbs, don't do it.
Exactly. Any less and it is not worth it. Just do a big bore and suspension and you will keep up w/ most pump gas turbos. I am running a modified stock skid and stock track on my '09 turbo and it is still a blast.

Any engine build I would do I fully balance the engine from crank, rods, pistons, etc every moving part makes a big difference. But I also am think of picking up a etec too, just cant decide yet.

Comtmrider What is spending lots putting it back together? Did you have issues with yours?

"Plan on running race gas or spend lots of money putting it back together."
I believe he ment if you don't run race gas you'll have problems and need to rebuild it.

dont waste your time on a 800r turbo, many have tried and many failed, carb turbos are a time bomb, go with the etec and dont look back
A turbo sled is just that-a turbo sled. Give me one reason why a carb turbo is more of a time bomb then a efi sled. What is your direct experience. I would settle for just one legitimate reason why they are a time bomb.
I run efi(can't get to run properly, think my fuel controller is bad), carb turbo, big bore and nitrous. Nitrous has been the least reliable for me, but I am not blaming the nitrous. I always try and run too much nos w/out enough extra race fuel. Detonate and done. Tuner related and fault all my own. Turbo kits are the same type of situation along w/ running a big bore on the edge. 2000 miles on my '09 turbo, haven't touched the bottom end. Burnt it down 800 miles ago when a powerjet plugged--install problem, not 800r or carb related. No different than plugging a line to an auxillary inector.
How much tuning do you mess w/ on your turbo etec? It's always ran perfect correct w/out any issues? If I remember correctly you never got one kit running correctly and were going to remove your current unless the fueling issues improved. They obviously did and you are happy now, carb turbo's have done the same thing. They have evolved and there are some good kits out there and enough information to be ready to go. Turbo's are not for everyone as you know. Maintainence and diligent insections are neccesary. No sled is just really gas and go, stock or mod in my opinion.
I am not trying to be a jerk, you have added alot of good info w/ your big bore and jumped into the etec turbo right away. I like to see the improvements you've made to your sled. What works and what doesn't. I just don't see where the time bomb statement comes from. If you were talking the occasional burble, efi is always going to have the advantage. Until there is a stand alone, carb is always going to be easier to tune.
