Yea as of right now im working on upgradin my turbo system....with a 14b turbo off of a 1g, poss some tubular headers or a stock manifold off a new evo 8 3" down pipe high flow cat and 3" HKS exhaust....i just got the injectors....btw tom they are a lil bit bigger then 55cc haha, they are 550cc RC injectors and right now im working on findin a good fuel pump........i also know a guy tryin to get rid of his fmic but with no piping......so when i can find some piping or find someone who can weild alum for me ill be pickin up that too. i have a set of coil overs that iwas goin to put on but i think now im just gonna get a set of eibach springs n some adj gas shocks but thats down the road............by the way again if anyone knows where i can get a good deal at a machine shop letme know....as soon as i get the 14b im gonna need to machine the exhaust man, the o2 housing, and the turbo exhaust casing. but yea these plans should be met by july if all goes well

Congrats, Mike! Good luck with your upcoming projects. I can put you in contact with a guy that can do welding and maybe some machine work. He used to work at EIP with me. Also, look into getting a Walbro fuel pump. There should be a drop-in replacement for your stock one. I got one for my VR-4 that flows 255 liters-per-hour, just gotta find a couple of hours to do the wrenching.
