Fuel/Ignition setup:

You can refer to the "Basic’s of Forced Induction Article" for more info on the individual option’s but here is a quick list of what can be done.

-Zdyne Programmable ECU- around 1000 for the Ecu and cheep junk yard DSM 450cc injectors

-Rising rate Fuel Pressure Regulator, and Hi-pressure pump (NOT RECCOMENDED)- Around 250.

-450CC DSM injectors with Apexi SAFC- Around 300

-MSD BTM (if no Zdyne)

Exhaust:

Any 2.5" or bigger exhaust will work with the turbo setup. Make sure the stock cat is replaced along with the exhaust. The factory cat is most likely burnt out, or clogged with deposits, which will restrict performance. If you have the time, an exhaust shop made 3" setup will look unique, last longer and even have the potential for more power. Just get the muffler you like that has a 3" inlet, and have the shop build the tubing to your liking.

Down-pipe:

The down-pipe will need to be custom made by the exhaust shop if you decide to use an adapter plate. The down-pipe will be much more complicated if the DSM O2 housing is not utilized. If you decide to use Gary’s plate, you can just buy one of their down-pipes also.

Turbo Catch Can:

A normal filter can be used to go on the PCV inlet on the valve cover, but at most Emissions testing facilities, the filter will be illegal. You can easily make a turbo catch can however, that will allow the PCV system to work normally, yet not let oil get into the turbo charge piping. The can will need to have the inlet (from the valve cover) mounted lower then the outlet (to the turbo’s intake), to prevent oil from draining into the turbo intake). Just place a paper towel in the can, and it will prevent oil vapor from getting into the line. As long as the can is placed in a place far from the engine heat, it shouldn’t melt. It obviously help’s if you get a can (tub-a-ware) with a screw on lid, and also one that is made of a hard durable plastic. Also make sure the fitting’s (from Home Depot) are sealed with an epoxy so they don’t leak. Try to use a 90-degree fitting in the intake tube instead of the stock "slash cut tube". The 90-degree fitting will respond better to the pressure and keep more oil in the engine then the can.
