    I agree if it’s a strip/race or Sunday driver but if you want to drive it a lot and it’s auto would be hard on the leg , it would be nice to know what pressure difference between boosted and non boosted , I do like the look

    Hey all I read on another page that these motor (LSA) have three map sensors this surely can not be right , would a 3bar map sensor  be enough, if any one can give me more info would be appreciated

    also I’ve looked at custom wiring looms and they say they add diagnostic plug and oxygen sensors ,don’t the ls1 come with this wired in ???? Cheers Frazer
