here are all the things i'd like for my turbo for the summer. let me know if im missing anything or if something isn't good...


t3/t4 turbo 57 trim
turbo manifold, something cast iron (drag or rev hard)
blow off valve (greddy type-s or turboxs type-h rfl)
2.5" downpipe
tial 38mm wastegate (already have)
AEM EMS
550cc/min injectors
walbro 255lph fuel pump
high flow cat
clutchmasters stage 3 clutch
FMIC (not sure which one and what size should it be?)
intercooler piping (2.25"-2.5")
oil lines
boost gauge
oil pressure gauge
dual gauge pod around stock gauges (already have)
turbo oil filter
vacuume manifold

 

forgot to mention, all this on 9lbs

 

Are you getting a garrett t3/t4? You might look at precision turbos since they use garrett wheels and are very nice. The sc34 57 trim is the same.

 

thats exactly what i was thinking. i can get the sc34 for 675 brand new. ill probably go that route unless i get a great deal on a new garrett.

 

so does this sound like a pretty good setup? im hoping for around 250whp. think i could get that or even more with my setup?

also, those of you with intercoolers, what size do you have? i dont want a tiny one but it doesn't have to be absolutely huge, just a nice size.

 

The precison AS 1021 intercooler will be good enough for your setup.

Do your setup right the first time and get an inline pro manifold.

 

no 15lbs?....hehe....

 

250whp should be attainable with that setup, absolutely.

I would go with a Revhard manifold over Drag, as the Drags wastegate placement over 1 runner can lead to spiking issues with large exhausts.

You may be able to get away with the stock fuel pump with the AEM, you should look into that.

Id go with ACT, personally over Clutchmasters.

As for the FMIC, I dont know how much money you want to spend...a PWR or Precision would be nice, but youll also be fine with a used Drag or RH IC that can be had for fairly cheap from guys who are going big.

2.25" IC piping is fine. Vacuum manifold is nice, but not necessary.
You'll also need a dumptube for the wastegate, or have one welded into the downpipe.

If I was to piece together a kit, I would without question spring for an equal length mani like Lovefab or Full-Race. If Im going to go to all the trouble of piecing together a kit, may as well make it the most efficient possible. All the things you listed can pretty much be purchased as a Drag kit, so I dont really see the benefit of buying everything seperately other than making more of a headache for yourself.

 

ok for my clutch, i want something that will handle this power, not be impossible to push in, and still shift pretty smooth.

what do you guys think of Action clutches? would you suggest the 2ks or 2md?

i dont know much about ACT clutches either so i dont know which one i would get.

also do you have a link for the lovefab or full-race turbo manifold? i want to keep my a/c and power steering with this setup
