What else should be on my list for the swap and for single turbo upgrade?

Here's my list so far.

Single upgrade and miscellaneous other things:
Turbo Kit
Fuel Kit: includes fuel pump, injectors, fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator and more
Intercooler
Ignition Amp
Boost Controller
Pulleys
Brake Kit
Motor Mounts

Auto to Manual Swap:
Transmission
4.1 Diff
Clutch
Flywheel
Clutch Line
Master and Slave Cylinder
Driveshaft
Guage Cluster for Manual
Pedal Set
Starter
Shift **** and Boot Leather
Shifter
5-Speed Harness
Transmission Bushing

If you have anything I need to add to the list tell me, I am getting ready to buy the stuff. Mods already in sig, I already have a Power FC.

The Turbo Kit is a T-78 so I am trying to make a pretty good amount of power.

Dex! What's up man? To add to your list make sure you get a midpipe to run instead of your high-flow cat. Also you should invest in some guages to check things. You also need some suspension upgrades to keep up with that power.

on alternative for the boost controller is to use the PFC with an Apexi solenoid and GM 3 bar sensor

No, it hasn't been painted yet. Damnit, I had an appointment to get it painted but the damn car won't run anymore and I was going to get it trailored but that didn't work out. Thanks.

How about a nice set of coilovers . you can change the lites to hid's, even if u keep them flip up the hid makes a difference. either a single or twin oil cooler set up .

Dude, don't paint it! I think it looks pretty good. I have seen it in person and it really doesn't even look pink, it is actually more rose colored, like purplish. I don't know I mean it's hard to explain, but it doesn't look the same as the pictures! Don't paint it, and when we go to the track after you get done with the T-78, and we show up in this little pink car with a black hood, all the domestic owners will be laughing and making fun of you. Then we can pick some fights with some mustangs and camaros, and whoop some ***. I mean how would you feel if you had this big loud *** V-8, and a little pink car whooped your *** in front of hundreds of people. OWNED!

True, I have never seen it in person and I was just giving him a hard time. Although he is probably sick of people giving him a hard time about the car color.

I think the T78 comes with the pulleys you need. You're going to want to look a KAAZ diff and a brace if you want to do any drag racing. You need block off plates.

I don't know there's soooo much stuff you need really. And depending on where you're getting that turbo from you might be waiting awhile. Jason told me there was a 2 month wait for that kit right now. So just hope where ever you get it from has it in stock.

I would ask your shop what you need really.
