Advice on turbo setups :)

ditch the £100 dump valve for one! £30 MAX will get you a nice vag recirc. Put the £70 saving into your boost pipes.

Rest seems about right price wise. Gav's given you some pointers

Factor in:

• new headgasket
• arp rod bolts (I *REALLY* recommend these... standard rod bolts are made of sticky toffee).
• You'll need a header tank too for your rad.
• Clutch? 200ft/lb is much too much for standard clutch. Go single plate 6 paddle (see john @ gmc).
• GT17 is watercooled - remember to get pipes etc, and figure out routing.
• Spark plugs.
• Remote oil filter relocation kit - pretty sure the miltek manifold is fouled with even the slim oil filter (renault 5) when it's got a takeoff for oil cooler.
• Jubilee Clips - you'll be surprised how many you'll need - don't skimp here. Somewhere around £50 will be ok.
  
  There's lots more - but there's a few bits for you

Thanks a lot for that. So if the gt17 is watercooled, does that mean it doesnt need an oil feed and return back to the sump?
