Hi-o fellow DSMer! What is the compression on it? What is the service level? How close that is will determine length. That will be a wicked turbo, but I would opt for a top mount twin ball bearing turbo setup myself. In any event, if you can find the right studs, hell yes its a good idea! There is no way in hell the stockers will come close to the ARP units by comparison. You will need them. Also see if you can get a layered metal head gasket and/or get it copper ringed at the top of the block around the cylinders so it will seal tightly. I can find the link if you need it, its a little extra, but 800+HP cars are using them, and the people who put them in swear by them and would have it no other way. I would get the ARP rod bolts too if you can. An intercooler is a must, but not too big for that low psi. The pressure drop would kinda stink. you will need the fuel pump, plus injectors...even bigger injectors for the "corn fuel" I don't like the stuff. I recommend water injection also. I don't know that it would be necessary to put in any extra ones if you have a controller though. Plus you will need a few other small fuel related items, but they are available. I wonder what my truck would be like turbo-charged. Sounds like fun! I see you had a GTR, was it R33 in 99' I so would love to get an R32 one day. What did you think of the 99'?
