Hi Guys
Right after my last post regarding my engine spec shopping list Matt Lewis has come back with some good prices BUT i wanna make sure im getting the right stuff as back in the 90s we used to stick a massive turbo on and a adjustable boost valve and off we went![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I would like to see 400bhp at the wheels so going for full engine rebuild with uprated bolts, bearings, 0.5 oversized pistons, group a gaskets etc also thinking airtec alloy rad & 60mm intercooler with siemens 55lb blacks and gt30 turbo, 3 bar map sensor, group a induction, uprated inlet cam, verniers, & a map by someone in the know! Do i need to do anything regarding the ECU?
Any help on this would be most appreciated

as above re ECU, but if you're having a new build the block & head should be flat so I'd go WRC/MLS gasket for peace of mind, and prob 6 long studs.
Edit - may as well get cut out's machined into pistons for cams too while you're at it.
