uh a FMIC is an intercooler, and the supra pump is a fuel pump.

That HKS T04E turbo is too small.

Yeah, what TO4e are you planning on using? I am using a 60-1, .70 a/r ptrim 1.15 a/r exhaust side.. Overall not a bad pick, if you like the stock turbo at all, I would move down to a 1.00 a/r on a divided manifold, my boost is like a light switch, I can drive around in n/a mode, or nail it over 4k and then get a massive power rush.The nice thing about that is my off boost gas mileage is now around 30mpg..
I am using an e6k, I also have an FJO wideband for tuning.
You will need a 40mm wastegate, and a good sized bov for that turbo.
Also plan on, a modified fuel rail for the 1600'ss, a new fuel pressure regulator, the stock one has no adjustability, I like the Malpassi RRfpr,s they are cheap and work well, you can get away with 1 msd, or no msd if you want, I found the MSD to really do didly over the stock ignition, a good catback exhaust is needed with free flowing mufflers, also count on a new downpipe and related hardware..
I am not sure how complete the kits are, but I have found the kits to be hard to get, and not all that complete, I put mine together from scratch, and saved a couple of grand over doing it kit form, plus everything on my car is in stainless steel..
You will also need a really good clutch, I think if I went with anything lesser than what I have now, my car would have eaten for lunch..Max

It'll barely make 300.&nbsp It's a T04E 46 - crunch the numbers.&nbsp The maps are on Turbonetics website http://www.turboneticsinc.com/

Okay; well how about a 60-1 compressor wheel swap into the stock turbo? I need good spooling..I can't be off boost into the 4000s...*star trekish voice*quick spooling I need quick spooling damnit!!

Yeah, I know...all the supporting hardware...I posted the parts I did as the bulk power makers & supporters =)

Thanks for all the replies guys...

I was also thinking about a 60-1 like Max mentioned although 1.00ar w/ bb option and yes..divided also

That'd be pretty close to the stock spooling times but with more POWAH

I'm not a fan of the hybrid stuff, the short comings of it really start to show once you get to higher boost, the stock exhaust side is a bottleneck.. I can get quick spooling with the T04e, I just change my driving my habits, I have noticed even before hitting full boost, my car is quicker than other cars that are deeper into their boost curve, then when my boost hits, I get a 2 or 3 car slingshot jump on them.
I really like the bigger T04e, I just have to change a few more things to use it to its full of advantage, namely the motor in my car, its not a tight build so it doesn't make all the power it should, blow by is an issue with it, also I need bigger rubber for the back end, laying a patch at highway speeds is getting somewhat tiring, no pun intended...Max
