you might want to get upgraded oil cooler lines because the stock ones tend to rub on the metal bracket that they are bye and tend to break so steel braided is reccomendid and also be carefull when doing the pully kit because if you dont do it right you could have alot of proublems.

Well I know the double alternator belt pulley is a good upgrade. Not sure about the unorthedox pulleys though, reducing alternator rpm by 20% might cause problems like you said.

Well the plan right now is this..
-Run all the above mods. Port the hell out of the internal wastegate to only run stock boost. If the internal wastegate cant handle it, then ill turbo upgrade/ external wastegate/standalone/injectors
-I will do the clutch when i have to. Then at the same time ill do a light flywheel.
I just want it to run exellent, do everything right away, then i hopefuly wont have too many suprises. Can someone explain the fuel pulsation damper, i threw it up there because i know it has to be done, but i dont know anythign about it. A FAQ would be nice.

Well ya thats the plan. I am going all the labour with a good friend of mine who did all of this stuff to his FC. I dont think its going to cost 13 grand. I priced it all out it should be around 4500-5000, but thats without standalone.
