Ite, I am making a single turbo kit, consisting of stock headers, the drivers side normal, with a crossover tube, and the pass side flipped, wrapping it up with a t3 flange, so I can run a holset hx35 or 40. im going to run a purdy big ic, havent decided just yet, a 4" dp off the turbo, and 42's with a blow through meter, anywho, its going on a mostly stock 5.0 vert, all the mods in sig btw. Im asking where to get a good blow through maf, one I can put on and not have to worry about it at all!! this is going on my dd, so it will be tuned highly and beat on fairly hard, about 8psi at the max and 10deg. timing at the max, unless I take it to indy this winter where it will be 5deg outside will I up it more lol.

ite here goes:

turbo
feed line
drain line (punch in oil pan)
welder
lots of mandrel bent pipe
stock headers (lol)
4" pipe (for dp)
42's
blow through maf
some form of ic
good hose clamps
couplings with hairspray (**** really works for boost)
some cuss words
beer
vodka
ice for hangover lol

thats all I got for now, after I fab it up it will go to jaws racing in florida for tunage!!

so where can I get a good blow through maf meter?

Since you're undecided, am I correct in assuming you don't have either of those turbos yet? I hope I'm right because neither is a good choice, especially not a T3 flanged HX35. HX40s use T4 flanges, BTW unless it's an HX40 compressor on an HX35.

Neither will be happy at 8psi either. If you somehow need 25psi of boost to make 450rwhp, the HX40 will work. Since you won't need boost that high, it will be very close to hitting the choke line. You might consider something larger with a better map.
