I blew my engine 2 years ago bc I put my turbo kit without any internal work and... idiotic of me no intercooler pipping... thing is i was going to install the intercooler pipping a week later but it didn't hold on that long... wasn't my fault bc the guys didn't limit my wastegate so i had no idea how much boost i was running... now i finally got me a good job that pays 2,000 a week so i can finaly get back to working on my car... as you can see on my photos ive done lots of work on it already... forged internals, intercooler, etc... now what i need you guys to help me with is with the parts, and setup... i need advices and comments on the parts i have and the parts im going to get... and yes i came this far on the internals so im dedicated to buy these other parts too...

Ok so thats pretty much everything im planning to do on my car... can you guys give me pointers if im heading the right way? doing anything wrong? or need any other part? i still dont kno anything about the aem ignition do i need one? oh and i was almost forgetting... my car is the 1998 mitsubishi eclipse with the 420a engine and my goal is to reach 600whp if possible... yes im planning to run 20?psi on track and 14psi daily... money is not a factor so guys please help me out ok? and the reason i didn't want a 4g63? its very rare to see a modified 420a... when my friends see my turbo 420a they'r amazed that the engine isn't a 4g63... and i always see 4g63 at import nights so... don't yall think its a sweet idea to mod a slow engine that can be 600whp? thanks a lot guys and another question... with all those mods... what do you think should be my max psi for the turbo?

and once im done wit this 420a project!!! im buying a nissan skyline gtr twin turbo!!! from modifiedautotrader!!! thanks a lot for the replies everybody, I really appreciate it. and srry if i got a bit excited and annoying... its my first thread :p
 
Oh and one more thing u guys should know... this car is being garage kept and is towed to the shop when a new mod comes through the mail so im not driving it until i get all these mods done... it is drivable yes but i don't want to drive it until its ready... i want all the parts on it to break in at once... i have a second transportation and i really care about my 420a dont want it to break on me again bc of my idiotic excitment to feel that boost kicking in again.... :banghead:
