Single turbo SBC

[gui67]

Hello
I am looking for some advices to choose a single turbo for my 383 SBC.
I tried to contact Precision turbo but they didn't really help me.

The turbo will be placed on the back, like STS does. The engine is a 383 SBC, with a roller cam, trick-flow 295 heads. I will remove the carburator at the same time and go with EFI (Megasquirt and edelbrock proflo xt)



Concerning the Turbo, for the moment, I plan to stay with low pressure: 10PSI at the beginning and increase after having improved the bottom end.
I think 6-700HP would be the first goal.
The garrett website is well done and I think the GT4088 or 4294 could be good for my needs.
I am now looking for someone that already have a single turbo and who could tell me if I made the good choice, or who could give me some advices about turbochargers from other manufacturers(maybe PT6765SP from Precision...)

Call STS, those guys have the parts, pieces and knowledge to get it all done right.
Dont try to go it alone. I have put 3 systems from them on and it makes it so much easier.
Precision hates STS, they dont believe the remote system works.
It does and buying the parts from the guys who pioneeered it to perfection are the guys to chat with.

Thanks for your answer,
I tried to contact STS some times ago, but I got a generic answer with a link to pictures but no technical information.
I just sent them an email again as you suggested.
Do you have experience dealing with TD Autowerkes? I am in contact with them to define the right turbocharger for my car.

Neither STS nor TD Autowerkes seems to react to my emails. (only generic answer, but then nothing)
Do you know a serious company willing to give advices and sell a turbocharger system to a french guy?
Thanks
Guillaume

Phone call is only way to roll, email from someone asking questions gets little info from some companies as some of them the guy you need to talk ot is actually doing work, not answering emails.
I have another fella from Tims Turbos http://www.timsturbos.com/contact.html
give them a shout, some arent as big a fan of remotes turbos but STS stuff does work.
