boost controller, either bleed valve or Electronic and a Front mount intercooler or if u wanna save money buy a second hand GT-T intercooler if u dont plan to run too much boost. if you have money left over run it on the dyno and see what your power output is and if ur a/f ratios' are rich, buy a safc to lean them out or better yet, safe for a power fc :laugh:

the front mount itself wont give u much in perfromance, it will only let u run higher boost. you could buy a cheap bleed valve off the forums or an ebc for about 300-400 bux from nengun. as for the front mount it should set u back about 500 bux for a decent kit from justjap. its not that hard to put in but if u were after someone, itd be about 200-300 bux id say. the ebc mite cost u a bit to put in as well, maybe a cuppla hundred. u gotta search around man.

heat shield the pod filter (you are sucking in hot air) or revert back to factory airbox with K&N / pipercross filter etc.

If it's not an auto , a better clutch than factory is going to be needed.

Pineapples - diff cradle bushes.

A good set of tyres is also worth a thought if you have crappy ones.

Leave the fmic alone till you are ready to decide what sort of engine package you want to develop.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
