Is your motor actually built already or thats what you plan on having it built with?

okay that's what i thought, i would highly suggest spend the extra money on a name brand turbo, intercooler, and other parts.... you get what you pay for in the turbo parts, trust me, if its cheap it aint lasting long at all!

definately ditch the throttle body spacer, waste of $..... and you got the sound of the turbo anyway no point!

Ok thanks for the info so far i have the tb spacer already in but ditchin it sounds fine free up a little room too. I

know that the stuff insnt that good quality but its super cheap and thats what i can do now im gonna make sure the piping and headers are quality, and

yes they are ending in one turbo for now i considered twin turbo but thats not an option until i do cams and a new intake manifold this is just the foundation for the future. Even if the turbo blows in 6 months which ill only be running 8-10psi for now the 900 for the setup is worth it.

This is my setup so far its been work in progress though any suggestions on my fuel system let me know im hoping this will work but if not try again.

lol omg.. these fail threads are all over the place.. I'd just close them, unless you knew the person was putting in a good amount of $ to build one. zz

I have suggested it several times before, i'll do it again, do NOT cheap out on performance parts unless you like several frequent visits to the shop or getting under the hood if you are doing it yourself.
Just my 2cents

yeah i hate to be negative too, but it would be better to wait and have higher quality parts, than do this.... you will be spending more money in the long run to have a low quality setup now...

but to comment on your fuel system, you should be able to tune the fuel with the greddy emanage, and the 450? i think you mean the 440cc injectors (if i'm correct) should be sufficient enough to push the 8-10psi that you are shooting for

since you have enough mods done internally to your motor you will be incredibly safe motor wise too

btw, i did post on your fuel setup, just an fyi before you start attacking someone, wait a couple minutes after someone elses posted, to see if they edit it, before you reply to it....
will watch the progress though!

i dont know why people think that they are being flamed or disrespected when they ask a question and get someones honest opinions?
i have personally been there where you are and it sux to learn the hard way it really does and i would really hate to see you where i was but its your money and its your project feel free to do anyway you like but just search a lot before actually going through with this.
