I've got some parts for my turbo kit like the turbo, oil lines, intercooler, wastegate, bov, headstuds, and gauges. I don't make a lot on my paychecks so I can't buy everything quickly. In which order should I go with?

1. Keep buying parts to complete the kit such as a manifold, downpipe, injectors, chipped ecu + harness, walbro, ic piping, etc.

2. Do motor prep work like the timing belt, water pump, headgasket, headstuds.

3. Buy an ACT clutch and install.

 

How many miles does your car have? Does it seem like it'll break easily due to the boost? If it's in good condition then boost but boost safely. You're already into the turbo part so you might as well finish it. Goodluck on your boost journey!

 

Just about 101k. It's a y7/y8 mini me. Compression checked in around 190 on all 4. It runs fine and has been ever since I did the mini me over a year ago. The headbolts were reused when I did the mini me so the only reason I have to open up the motor would be to put in new headstuds and then a new headgasket.
