I have been reading up the last few months. I would like to go ahead and do a turbo build at the same time im doing the swap. Do you or know where I can find an absolute 100% parts list necessary for the swap? BTW my FD is a fully running 40k mile mint one hahaha people are pissed I am swapping it. Sorry for the hijack! This type of build is my inspiration.

Unfortunately there isn't a full parts list as every build is different. Just break it down into different aspects of the build and build a list of things you think you'll need based off of common sense and things you've learned online. I will say one thing though I HIGHLY recommend anything from Samburg especially the subframe. His work is top notch, literally no wait time for the parts, and he's extremely helpful if you have any questions. My hats off to you guys who can knock one of these swaps out yourself. Like I said before, there is no way I would been able to do it without digitalsolo's help

Those headers,,, uhm,,, yeah. Buy a bunch of U-bends and a chop saw and make it right. Welding to cast is not going to end up well at all. Just things i know, good luck!
