Going turbo right after warranty on the ZE runs out.

FMIC/piping custom made from shop. (no more ac more than likely)
EMS standalone done by shop.
Hotpiping from SSAC
Turbo 2nd hand t3/4 rebuilt from shop ($700 quote i got) or maybe just from wreckers depending on how tight ass i am
Either Millenia(if they enough like nin_nin said) or [SR20 injectors(dirt cheap) modded to go in the old DE rail so i can easily put the DE rail onto the ze after i drive it to the tuning shop]
BOV from unkown source yet
oil psi/temp and boost gauges
+ all the other things that need to be done to get her ready

running on 5psi for a few months, doing compression test than seeing if it can take more. Max 7psi. Wait till i save up more money after another 6 months or so then forged internals and half a rebuild for safety and maybe a touch more boost.

All will be done at home except for FMIC and ECU. drive it to shop and hopefully dont hit boost on the way. Using the SSAC collectors and hopefully they match up to their hot piping (if not it isnt anything an exhaust shop couldnt bend for me). Then i will have the turbo collecters and header downpipe to sell.

Im not sure bout exhuast though. will probably get 2 1/2" next weekend or should wait for turbo to go bigger. Prob stay 2.1/2 even with boost coz i badly need downlow power even at the sacrifice of up top.

As for legal stuff...Leaving that to fate. The mx-6 isnt a cop magnet and engineers certificate are mega expensive and dont always work anyway. Im acutually going to mask as much of the conversion as possible (cover braided lines with rubber, make a housing for turbo that looks like airbox) etc. To the untrained cop he might give the lookover to my dirty as toilet engine bay (it is so dirty now imagine after conversion).
