What Am I Missing!?!?!

I am in the process of ording the Greddy turbo kit plus a few additional parts for my 8, I need to know if you see anything I may have left out that I might benefit from using this setup. I have a feeling there's somthing I'm missing I just can't put my finger on it. Let me know....

This is what I have so fare on my order list.

1. Greddy Turbo Kit
2. Greddy Oil Pan
3. Greddy BOV Type RS
4. SR #9.75 Flywheel & Clutch Disk
5. SR Aluminum Radiator
6. SR High Flow Cat System
7. SR Pully Set "Maybe?"

8. ??????

If I were you, I'd skip the pully set...not much gain for the $$$, and you diminish the functions the pullys drive.

Ditto on the boost controller. Also consider a better EMS than the eManage.

Once you get the car properly tuned & get that massive dose of torque, you definitely won't want/need the lightweight flywheel. You only get a benefit from a light flywheel in lower gears anyway.

get the innovate LC-1 AFR gage to keep an eye on things. It sure is nice to look over and see that 10.5 under boost. I'm not constantly worried that things are getting lean and will blow the seals. Helps you sleep at night. You also might want a set of colder plugs for the same reason. They'll run you $150 for the Denso Iridiums.

I would suggest the RP High Flow cat with Metal substrate.

If you want a pulley set, I suggest the Unorthodox racing...save yourself maybe a couple of hundred. I think the pulleys will gain you ~2 HP..maybe that is what Somebody Dynoed at with them.

Oh you will want to check out for sure Racing Beat's metering oil pump upgrade. http://www.racingbeat.com/FRmazda4.htm
