Thanks!

I've looked into the vac kit in the past but its way out of my budget. I think I'm just going with ARP head studs and a good and thick head gasket to lower compression to 8.5:1.

As far as fuel pump goes I already have an e85 capable 340 from rallroad.net. So in that case I'm thinking some 42lbs should suffice. And for the intake and exhaust manifold I will most likely have one them fabricated. Gives me a good excuse to get rid of that God awful intake manifold...its so hideous.

I guess my next question would be what turbos do you guys recommend. This will be my first turbo build so I'm not familiar with them at all. I'm and LS guy (have a 325is with an LS3.) To save cost could I buy a turbo off of a car with a similar sized motor, such a Saab, Evo, SRT-4. The TD04 turbos seem very reasonable and seem to be used on a lot of cars from the manufacturer so they must be reliable???

I'm willing to stay right at or under 15psi. 300whp would be nice but ill be just as happy with 250-270.
