Default Need Help Removing Turbo

Guys, I need some help here. I'm trying to remove my turbo system on my car. What are all of the things that I'm going to need? So far, I just came up with:

1. Intake
2. Header
3. Oil Pan

Is there anything else that I am missing? I need to get the uninstallation all done in one day, so I'm waiting to make sure that I have all the parts that I'm going to need. One thing I learned is that knowledge and great preperations make any work on your car MUCH easier! Thanks ahead of time for the suggestions and the knowlede you guys share with me.

-Injectors.
-FMU if you're using one.
-Downpipe needs to be replaced by header/Y pipe.

the big thing is the fuel management, what are you using with the turbo? dont forget to put the oil pressure sender back in its place!! Thats pretty much it other than intake, headers, and oil pan I guess

OK! So, other than the things I've already listed, I just need to change out the injectors with the stock ones, remove my FMU, and get a Y pipe to replace the downpipe? So the Y pipe some something that I need additional to the header, correct?

Yes, the Y pipe connects to your manifold. As long as its a stock setup, anyway. I'm not sure how aftermarket headers work.

Yeah! I figure if I'm going to pay for an intake, header and exhaust ( since 3" will be too big for a NA setup ) I might as well, just get all aftermarket.

I have 370cc, and that's the reason why I'm removing the FMU. I was told that I can tune it with just the SAFC and the larger injectors.

Here's what I did when I removed my turbo:

- Take off turbo, downpipe, FMIC, and piping
- Plug oil feed with an allen plug and plug oil pan with -10an cap
- Install stock air intake and stock header
- Install stock GSR basemap w/ out boost options etc. (not needed but I did anyways)

That's it!

Later on I replaced the injectors with the stock injectors, desoldered the resistor box, and replaced the chipped ECU with a stocker.

I am going to replace the oil pan with a stock one later on as well.
