Alright guys! You've been a huge help! My main concern was whether or not they were trying to rip me off and trying to sell me something that I don't need.

My main goal is to have some nice power for the hills (I don't drift the car, not into that) and a good suspension setup.

Plus I want to keep the engine bay mainly stock looking and clean.

I know very few people who have ever had an issue with garage7. They are a great supporter of R chassis and make loads of custom parts for them. Decs is super switched on and knows his shit, I can't imagine him selling something that won't work :)

Exactly my thoughts man and thanks for the input! I obviously want to do my homework so I don't buy into something I don't understand.

Also, from what I've read is that I've got to replace the rubber fuel lines because it breaks down and clogs fuel components. Do it once do it properly.

550 is the largest side feed my wholesaler can get, so anything larger than that is 'highflowed' with a drill bit.

They are still 20+ year old design, even if you buy new. Nothing that old compares to a modern Bosch injector, in fact not much compares these days. If you are planning to run e85 one day you have no real choice but to do a top feed conversion, the sidefeeds won't last long on e85 from my experience.

I just don't want to go top feed because I want to keep it looking stock.
I've got a couple friends running sidefeeds on E85, but have them going at 100%. They're runnning close to 300kw though. That's not my goal.

You can barely even see the top feed rail when you have the std plenum and cross over pipe it does look stock.

I would personally save a little more and buy a billet performance product fuel rail and set of siemens deka injectors if using e85 or bosch injectors if using petrol.

I wouldn't touch that Chinese junk after reading about first hand experience on another forum.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
