    1. Visual mods(tint, bumper inlays, lowering springs, etc)
    2. hv3
    3. poly bushings
    4. zzp 3 inch cat catback
    5. Stattama turbo kit T67
    6. built f40 or zzp 4t65ehd
    7. 18 inch rims w/summer tires
    8. s1x cam, 125 springs, retainers
    9. e85

    stattama turbo kit: http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...r-L36/L67.aspx
    Im hoping by the end i can make about 450-500whp on 10-15lbs of boost. idk just hope
    any parts suggestions or places to get the work done would be great! opinions are welcome as well!

    Why put a blower cam in? If you're going to put a cam in during your turbo process, do a turbo cam.
    Edit: Also, go with way stiffer valve springs.

    Yeah go with an XP or S1x. Both still work well with a turbo, and give bigger lift than the stattama. The XP i believe will bleed off more of the boost. The S1x should help you with more low end torque. But either over the VS.

    3k ill sell a modded cartuning kit with a t70 turbo kit and st5 cam with hv3 prj fuel rails......

    also screw the shorter dog bones just makes less room for turbo downpipe and dont need a catback exhaust.

    st5 cam is going to require 130# or 150# springs and some head work.

    didnt your already have a turbo build thread? you sure make alot of threads about modding.
    you should make a thread about your car in the member ride thread.

    Me? Im about to leave for a deployment again, so I'd sell items for the right price, and I will not break up the turbo kit and fuel rails so yes that's a 3000 dollar set of prj fuel rails with a pile of other parts to go with it HAHA!

    As for sitting yes caged car is in my spare garage and E85/S1X car is my daily.

    Sorry for the thread jack.
