Parts still needed

6 puck stage 3 racing clutch ACT
Current mods on the car
short ram intake, berks test pipe, spec d tuning single exhaust, 255 walbro fuel pump.

Even if I don't have any good advice to give you, I really like reading your thread. Nice setup you got there.
I have the ILP kit coming my way anytime soon(just waiting for Chris to ship it out).
One thing in common is the "small" turbine housing. I have the .48 coming too. So I am very intrested in your experiences with it. (My turbo will be the gt3076r)
Wish you best of luck with the upcoming tune etc!
