Hi all,

ok, I've raised a little cash and starting to think about upgrades again. But I still feel like I know nuthin about what I wanna to do

So I'm compiling a list of all the parts that I will need to get a hold of to have a 'complete' BPT conversion package, ready to swap over into my baby. This will be helpful even if I do end up with a half cut, just so I know what I have bought

So far I know of:
- Motor : incl. injectors, fuel rail, plenum, throttle, cams, spark plugs, (edit) starter motor
- Turbo : incl exhaust housing
- ECU, loom, coils
- Intercooler + intake piping
- Ditributor + Ignition leads
- Exhaust : dump pipe, catback exhaust to 2.5" or greater
- Extras : hosing, clamps, lubricants, belts, etc
(edit) - Air flow meter

I'm not sure about these compenents, would I expect these with the motor? Could I use standard BP parts?
- fuel pump
- oil pump
- water pump

Optionally, I can add to my shopping cart
- better fuel pump
- fuel pressure regulator (adjustable or rising rate?)

I definately want to keep auto trans, so I'm also looking at :
- re-banding the trans
- better fluid cooling + pipes
- extra clutches

Geez, this all sounds sooper expensive Have I left anything out? Have I included anything that I should get away with transferring from the BP setup?

Once I have a list of everything, I'll look at individual part pricing, from forums, retail, dodgy guys at pubs, etc. then try and hammer that down as much as possible. I've noticed that the Microtech ECU alone retails for over $1g, sheesh!

Whadayaguys reckon? Am I dreamin?

Dave.
