supporting mods w/ a super 20g?

[inneed4dsm]

I've looked around at a few things and I've come with up a few also...

obviously I'm going to need more fuel and a little bit of head work, and some tuning
I was thinking HKS 272 cams, valve springs, etc... and DSM link for tuning

now by this time I will have my fmic with hard IC piping, BOV, MAF translator, and MAP sensor, and Turbo back exhaust

Is there anything I should be aware of... What other supporting mods shall I consider? I like to here POSITIVE opinions. Different cams for that turbo? what brand springs and retainers? or maybe you dont need certain parts I think I need... thanks I really do appreciate it.

Well since your going with dsmlink I would go ahead and get some 1000cc or so, so you'll never have to upgrade again. Along with a fuel pump, a wally 255 should do the trick and an afpr. 272s should work well with that turbo. A lot of people get brian crower valve springs+retainers but many people also run 272s with stock springs without any problems.

If you want to rev to the real top power band of the 272's then you better do the valve train.

Ik I'm a noob on this site but I've been on plenty of car forums to tell you that if you have to ask what you need for a turbo upgrade of this caliber, that you're just asking for problems. Not to say that I haven't made the same mistake ever. You definitely want to have enough knowledge that you can just go "ok so if I'm running a super20g I'm going to need this and this, i'll need this so it doesn't break on me..." You should definitely take a look at the tech articles and read everything you can find, search the forums, etc, etc. Otherwise for example you might order a $500 manifold with an external wastegate and find out your turbo is internally gated. Money will be lost. Plus in the end you're going to sound like a professional when someone comes up and starts talking about cars when you have the hood popped.

I do know alot of the stuff I need and I have read alot.. It's just the making sure part... I was just recently informed of some banjo bolts being certain sizes on this forum actually.. And I paid for um had to get em shipped and everything it was like 26 dollars for 2 and they were wrong... so not everything is always trust worthy. I do know most of the stuff I need I was just making sure of some brands and what EXACTLY will It be.. example..
I knew I was getting dsm link, and I knew I needed fuel
but what fuel products shall I run with the dsm link
but now I know thanks to Gstclipse69
Thanks Gstclipse69!... oh and whophlungpoo for helping me make the decision to go with an aftermarket valvetrain...

Depending on how much boost you are running consider doing some build up on the internals, at least make sure you have a new OEM 4 layer or an aftermarket like cometic or felpro to handle higher than stock boost, check the timing belt, basic things that can cause major damage.
