tptools sells a 1 hp dust collector I used for mine.

Also I used a bad boy pressure pot blaster with AO @60-100psi depending on metal or aluminum. My compressor was a 120gal with a 3.5 hp motor. Yes it was under powered, but it worked. I would say a 5hp (true 5 hp look at amps) and a big tank will be fine.
