I have been interested in turbo's but I've never really known much about them.. I took a look at some sites around the net and it seems my list below is what an entire turbo system would be composed of. Can you guys add anything more?

Note: In general terms. This is not a skyline application. :D

Turbocharger

Intercooler

Intercooler Piping

Exhaust Manifold

Fuel / Timing Controller

Fuel Injectors

Wastegate Assembly

Blow Off Valve Assembly

Downpipe

Intake

All necessary Hardware, Hoses, and Fittings

You sorta have it covered with the 'All necessary Hardware, Hoses, and Fittings' bit :thumbsup:

I'd add a decent fuel pump, upgraded air flow meter, and possibly things like cams, headwork, crank/rods/pistons, oil coolers etc depending on how suited the engine is to turbocharging in stock form and what you want to do with it. And don't forget a boost guage :D

Oh yeah, a boost controller would be good :thumbsup:

I like to steer away from thick head gaskets to lower compression, I much prefer to do it with a combination of headwork and crank, rods and pistons. There's nothing wrong with a properly designed metal head gasket, I just prefer the other way :D

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
