The 14b I believe is an internal wastegated turbo, I could be wrong, but if so, that should take care of the wastegate you would possibly need.

dont forget clutch, oil feed/return lines, boost controller, gaskets, good idea to get arp studs, and also get a new y8 block for when that one blows or spins a rod bearing....because it WILL.

Agreed. I just went for the more obvious parts... but you are correct on what you added as well. You could also throw in the...

-Turbo timer
-Walbro fuel pump
-Wideband
-Oil catch can
-Fuel pressure regulator

Not all of those are needed, but are helpful in the build.

You'd have to disable the internal wastegate on the 14B and get a manifold that will accept an external wastegate and use a 5 pound spring.

I'm unsure if this is the proper way, someone can correct me if I'm wrong. You can weld the wastegate shut.

why not just run 10-12 psi?

10-12psi may be a little to much for a stock block. D16 rods and ringlands start to go around 200 whp.

ya i know, but build the block enough to withstand it and it would be worth it imo. might cost a little more, but would give you more power and room for farther modding later on.
