Ya im super busy and just need a couple things answered. So I checked it out and the wastegate bracket i have is not for a bluebird but a turbo that outlets forward and not up and thats why it doesnt fit. So i need a bracket that is straight not bent. Also do I need to get an aviner intake or could i modify a wai or stock intake?

The gate above is what I have it's not pretty close up but it will work just fine



So your compressor housing has a bolt pattern like this right? Those two bolt holes on the top of the comp are where the gate bracket bolts on to. That is the front mount T25 instead of the top mount intercooler upward facing T25 compressor

If i were to need a new fuel pump would I need to get an fpr too to make sure the pressure stays the same?

Depending on which Walbro you get yeah you would. You might be able to get away with a 190LPH low pressure (LP). If you get a high pressure pump (HP) you would defiantly need one.

damn that sucks. And on the top mount piping and on the wastegate the vacuum nipples look bigger than the regular ones. Are they different hoses and does it matter where they tap into?

i would definitly get a afpr and a gauge if you are looking to upgrade the fuel pump just to keep a close eye on it. also the afpr is great to have if you have a good tuning software and want to change the base fuel pressure from say 3 bar to 4 bar, just saying.

Not hard if you do it right. Can't speak for oil feed as I did replace that.

What does changing the base pressure do just fatten it up?

Allows you to run higher pressure to get more life out of the injector in terms of overall flow.

You seem to have a lot of basic questions that could be answered by reading all of the stickys at the top of this sub-board and here:
