Well I have the rest of my parts coming for my motor rebuild.

I have all the gaskets, o'rings, bearings, rings that I will need.

Also coming are hardened stud bolts for my turbo. I have a boost gage and boost controller.

I need to get a blow off valve, but I think I have everything else for the engine rebuild and turbo install.

Anyone think of anything I need before I start tearing it apart? Or any pointers from anyone before I start? I have been reading posts and purchased a manual and have been printing out the pages I will need on the "large" plotter.

Turbo is setup at 12lbs low boost and 18lbs high boost. I was thinking I should lower the boost for break-in. Also, how can I adjust that before I start the motor for the first time?

Thanks.
 
Get a wide band air/fuel guage unless you are experienced with turbo tuning.

Makes it so much easier to dial in.
 
Thanks for the link...I will definately try to get everything setup before I pull the cord!
