Awesome. What manifold did are you going to be using? Also for the resistors on the fuel injectors, do I put one inline with each of the 2 wires going to the spark plugs, or does just one need it (will I need 4 or 8 resistors)? Thanks again for the help.

Also I just noticed there is no port on the compressor side of the turbo to run a line from the wastegate to. Can that port be anywhere in the intercooler side piping, or am I missing something?
This line to the wastegate need only be on the pressurized side of the turbo. It can be anywhere between the turbo and throttle body.

You don't need to external the wastegate unless your turbo doesn't have it internally. And i remember reading your turbo has a internal wastegate. Don't worry about it unless your manifold needs a external manifold i would suggest on buying a turbo without a internal wastegate. If you already have the turbo thats internal, grab the manifold that has the external hole shut. I mean your not looking for lots of power so internal is cool. My turbo is internal and its been good. You can use both in one but you would need to weld the internal hole shut to prevent leaking.

Yeah i was wondering about that. I might start with just the fuel pump. Then the bored rail, then the injectors depending on what it needs at the moment. Thanks
