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

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
