FD Single Turbo check list...

I'm just making sure I covered everything I would need to do a single turbo from a stock setup.

1. Turbo
2. Manifold
3. Wastegate
4. Intercooler (with piping)
5. BOV
6. Down pipe
7. Injectors
8. Fuel Rail
9. Engine managment
10. Fuel pressure regulator
11. Fuel Pump
12. Boost controller
13. All gaskets and fittings for fuel and turbo.
14. Tuning
15. Clutch/Flywheel


Anything I'm missing? There has to be something.

I had planned on the ported rebuilt motor prior to all this, anyway.

This is a great resource.....the last page details the bazillion little things you'll need, and they add up. I probably spend over $500 on all of it:

Depending on the condition of the car, many OEM parts may need replacing. Figure at least another $1,500 to fix miscellaneous issues that will be uncovered (i.e. wiring harness, bad motor mounts, sensors, etc.). Unless the car is real low milage, new sensors are a good idea (the computer needs good info from the sensors to work properly).

Not to get off topic, but what's the best meth kit to get.
