ditch the 42lbs injectors, get 60lbs ones. you dont need ARP head bolts, or rod bolts really. Stock ones will work fine. That turbo wont make enough power to hurt anything stock.

X2 get 60's.And you dont need some huge BOV.a turbo XS RFL is cheap on ebay and work just fine.However i disagree about the turbo not being big enough to hurt anything.ANY turbo is plenty enough to hurt anything stock.

It wont be the HP limit hurting anything, ya anything will kill stuff if you dont have it tuned right. Tuned right the HP limits of that turbo shouldnt exceed the limits of the stock parts.

what is this goin in? if you have the room just get a s400, its alot bigger size wise but will make a lot more power. sounds like it will see alot of track duty you can always turn them down but that mpt70 will only go so far! and they are the same price!
