The Only Stupid Question, Is The One You Don't Search For
I'd move motor mounts up on the list. Motor mounts are definitely a must before anything else. I'm not going to be able to be boosted for a while, and I have all of them including the tranny mounts... One of the best mods i've ever done, even at stock power levels.

id add a 1000 dollars to your total price cuz thats no where near aprox. i had a rough price in my head for my kit and i was $921.86 over to be exact lol. i'd also get an oil pres gauge. a lot of people also didnt liek the flywheel it mad launching pretty hard but if u have the money and wanna try it go for it. good luck oh and for your turbo header check the ebay guy out i got mine for 190 shipped and its of good quality. theres a post somehwere on the forum about him and no one had problems at all wit their mani's.
oil pressure gauge a must. mounts should be near stage 1. do not run dual exhaust. 1 muffler, 2.5" piping will work just fine. the only fuel pumps I recommend to anyone are Walbro. As far as cams go... all-motor cams and forced induction cams are different. Check out
jbodyperformance.com for their FI cams. As far as injectors go, you're looking at around $300 to 400 for a good set of RC Engineering injectors. You can order them from Karo at
carcustoms.net. Look at the FAQ in Performance forum for links to wiseco pistons and rods and what not to build your motor to take more boost. Remember here, this isn't about how much boost it can take, it's still on horsepower. You will want tires that can hook 250 to 300 horsepower and you will want injectors to support at least 250 horsepower. Just search around for the right cc or lb/hr combo injectors to use.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
i was kind of thinking about moving the mounts and clutch up first. I never thought about the flywheel with launching a turbo that will free up some tight money. i already have the three gauge set of an oil pressure gauge, oil temp gauge, and a volt gauge. and i would NEVER put dual exhuast on a four cylinder a ment a single exhuast with two mufflers, eliminating the cat.. Thanks for the replys guys
Bolts, nuts, vacuum lines, gaskets, heat wrap, RTV, silicone connectors, reducers, and clamps, lots of stuff like that...
Not sure where you are finding an AFPR for $50... or a fuel pressure gauge for $30. My AFPR cost me $105, and my mini- 1.5" fuel pressure rail gauge cost about $40. Same pretty much goes with the boost and A/F gauge, the A/F gauge new cost me $55, and the boost gauge I got used for $50.
