Has anyone done a recent turbo (single or double) installation in an Ultima?

I am considering such a setup. If you have, can you pass some tips along to me - no hurry, not doing the engine until 2018.

Not looking for too much boost, but something reasonable.

My Idea was to do a destroked LSX with low boost (under 8 psi) to keep the heat and power down, and was thinking of using the LSX iron block (100 extra pounds of weight). BUT I do value all opinions on this subject, so keep them coming!!!!

I will not be buying a pre-built engine (but thanks for the tips)

I am building the engine from the ground up, doing it with my son. He wanted to see how it is done.
