ok... so I am going to type this crap one more time and I swear my laptop is gonna learn a new trip ( flying) if it deletes this again!!!
:-D

ok... so you are off to a good start with your little turbo project, and I dont know what your budget is or isnt.. so i am going to make some suggestions ot stuff you might have forgotten

gaskets:
Oil pan gasket
exhaust manifold gasket ( the head to turbo manifold gasket)
turbo to exhaust manifold gasket
S-Pipe gasket
J-pipe gasket ( you can reuse your old one IF you so choose )
RTV ( for places like the oil return line section at the turbo, it has an o-ring, but hey another barrier never hurts)
Teflon tape, for your " tapped" windage tray

Intercooler pipes:
Contact Metalic36, she gots the hook up on some good stuff for front mounts,
CX racing, forcefed, protege garage, circuitsport.net, corksport has some i think too..
T bolt clamps, OR v band are the best way to go... vband is expencive and a pain in the ass, have to be welded on.. BUT... of you are looking for something that arent gonna just swperate under load.. these work.

SPARK PLUGS: IMPORTANT!!!!
make sure you change your spark plugs and get the ones that are correct for your project..

vac block, it isnt manditory, but it is nice to keep vac lines neat and orginized
motor mounts.... I would strongly suggest these... but it is up to you.

just a few suggestions.. I will add some more later when i have time... feel free to PM me if u got any questions

im sure it will work out great for him. if he'd buy them. lol

protege321 · Nov 23, 2009

oh well obviously its going to work for him lol. im going boost also and i cant make a decision between the begi fmu and o2 clamp or msp ecu and ssacf, so im looking forward to some more feedback on how this turns out.

mp3-79bronco · Nov 23, 2009

msp ecu and ssafc ftw...

thats the thing...you gotta read the fine print. hes also debating on whether to use the begi and clamp....or use a msp ecu. i vote the the begi and clamp. but im biased cuz i have them for sale right now.

+1

mp3-79bronco · Nov 23, 2009

i mean plug it into a laptop and you can tune your afrs at each psi at whatever rpm...not just a rough afr like the fmu

protege321 · Nov 23, 2009

ya im leaning towards the msp ecu and ssafc, i think its better in the long run, at least for my plans with the car.

mp3-79bronco · Nov 23, 2009

i run 11.5-11.9 all the way through with little tuning done

protege321 · Nov 23, 2009

professionally tuned? or did you do it yourself.

Lol in time, I'm still thinking. I'm waiting to hear back about getting a turbo...fingers crossed. I'm looking at how to hook up FMU and 02 clamp right now though(yes)

Hmmm really? what map are you using, or did you tune it all yourself?

mp3-79bronco · Nov 23, 2009

base supermap with just a few tweeks that i did. its really not hard to tune it.. just make a good run and datalog it and then see the general area u need to change and change the cell number up or down to compensate
