Rods and pistons would be nice, but it helps to know the intended boost and the turbo you want to use, i.e. 6psi out of a T25 is a bit different then 6psi out of a T3/T4.
T25, T3? Are those different categories of the size of the turbo? What if I want to run a small amount of PSI for now...say 6-8 PSI and later I want to run more...would I have to change the turbo or what would I change? Does each turbo push out a certain amount of PSI, and thats why I need to figure out how much I wanna run?
So is it a lot of internal engine work or no. I have read that its good to get a better fuel pump and rail and stuff to make sure your engine will get enough fuel but what else would I need? Does the kit usually come with everything that you need or no?
