Changing BHG. Anything else?

well you could do the aforementioned upgrades, as well as an exhaust, proper CAI, 550cc injectors and lexus AFM.

or go all out and get a standalone ecu. allows more flexibility with fuel and timing and lets you squeeze the most out of your upgrades.

as for running no exhaust after the turbo...i wouldnt recommend that on a street car. at minimum put a down pipe and dump, and if you get caught with that, big no-no so i dont condone that.

as for anything else, the MHG and bolts/studs will be nice upgrades and as long as you prep your block and head right and follow proper torque procedures then that should help immensely for boost.

you could get forged pistons, but thats all up too you, the stock ones handle a good hand full of boost.

ive been reading that rod bolts are a weak point, but its kinda hit and miss with those case. either way, if your rebuilding, you can pick up the ARP bolts for about 60 bux and have the rods resized for a few bucks at the machine shop.

other than that, good flywheel/clutch combo, and its pretty much it. just follow the procedures and triple check everything, should be good.
