denmah's commonly bought turbo car items (update 7-11-16)
at this point in the game i would say head studs are a total waste of money unless you are pushing water every single pass, at that point i would check deck and get ARP's
i have tuned a few 800+whp cars on stock re-used head bolts and stock re used head gaskets etc etc etc
if the motor is sealed just dont touch it

ICT Billet makes a super cool plate the bolts on to some oil pans with a 1/8th" NPT fitting where the cooler lines would normally go. It makes for a great way to supply the turbo with oil. Other kits have a sandwich plate goes between the oil filter and the pan, they work too but the oil filters sits way too low for my liking on the car.
The drains can be bought for cheap on Amazon, If you want to run a 8 or 10 AN drain line, they have a plate that bolts to the drain connection of the turbo and adapts to whatever AN line size you want. Larger compressor/turbine turbos will run out of space to tighten the AN fitting if you go really big.

Is the cheap Trick Flow cam from Summit still the king of budget boost cams or has a better option been found?
Also, will that cam need the springs shimmed on stock heads with Pac 1218 drop in springs?

Any experience with the ON3 78/75 t4 undivided housing? I just picked up my 08 5.3 with under 100k miles on it for my 75 Dodge Dart Swap. Appreciate all the info you've shared, extremely helpful.

sorry for jumping off topic, but in other videos you re-use factory tty head bolts, I see that you have gotten away with it ....so with that being said, do I add a couple more ft lbs and a couple degrees in angle for the final pass?.......thanks in advance ,and sorry for posting on an old thread everybody that doesn't think that's cool!!!!
