Lightbulb Getting prepped for single conversion :dunno:

Hey everyone,

Got a few questions about a single conversion. Ok, so i know that i need the following items for a single turbo to work on the car-

TO4Z Turbo: Should i get divided or undivided A/R? Which size A/R should i go with? Is there any other special stuff that i will need for the cooling?

Manifold: Not sure where to go for this. I was thinking about a TO4Z kit but now i may do it by pieces.

BOV: I am running the greddy elbow. Will I be able to mount the Tial to the greddy elbow and is that where the BOV is supposed to be?

Wastegate: Does the TO4Z have a built in wastegate or will i need an external? If i need one, how will i know what size to get?

downpipe: Again, i am not sure if i will get a kit that will include this or if i should buy separate. Any advice?

intercooler: (I am looking at a couple different set ups. I was looking at the Greddy 3 row I was also thinking about a V mount but i am not sure if i need to go that way. My final goal is to be over 450 hp to the wheels after everything is done. Which would you all recommend?

Intake: (any recommendations will be helpful.)

Porting: I am thinking about a street with a half bridge port. Any recommendations?

Fuel: I will be running Denso pump with 850 primaries and 1680 secondaries

Clutch: Exedy Twin Plate

LSD: Anyone know of a really good and durable LSD?

Driveshaft: Know where i can get a good one?

Axles: I was thinking about the Chromoly axles. Are any of you using them?

Is there anything else that i will need to complete the single conversion? Do i need to pull the air pump off for any of this? Do i need to the block off kit? I do know that i will have to relocate my battery to the trunk. I already have the Power FC sitting here in my house. I am waiting to install everything once i get it all.

Sorry for all the questions, but this will be my first time ever installing any of this. I appreciate everyones help and information.

dude with all your questions I would advise you to by the kit as you have not researched, which means that you have no clue whats actually required. hence buy a kit. It will have all of the hard parts for the turbo/downpipe/manifold wastegate etc.

it will not address your fueling needs, nor you radiator/oil cooler needs

and it will not address the fact that you most of the members will probably clown you for not searching.... so my suggestion do some searching.

Ramstein: I remember the area well. But that was in the late 60s.

Actually i have done some research and i am now just looking for advice as to the correct products to use. People have tole me that should talk to Gotham Racing and others have said that i should go with A-Spec or buy everything i need from ATP. I am well aware of the fact that i am going to get clowned as you put it and i am not worried about it. I am only looking for information and advice.
