Been lurking around for a while now just picking up parts as I need them, figured it was about time I started up one of these!
I have a blue 91 TT (auto) daily which is more or less stock, bought it cheap with a few issues and have been fixing it up and making it into a nice clean car! Still a few things left to sort out, but overall runs pretty well, haven't had any major issues in the 18 months that I've owned it!
As well as that, I picked up my new project yesterday... another 91, but this one has a couple of things done to it. It's a manual + single turbo conversion, and originally I bought to part out and make some money from it (I got it very very cheap). After barely getting out of it since buying it, I think I might be fixing it up and keeping it too! I'll put some decent photos of both up later, but here's a teaser that's already on my pc

Ok so I'm doing a bit of a parts order and am looking for a bit of input. I currently have the following set up:
FMIC, pod filter, etc custom 3" dump-back exhaust, single HKS 4" cannon, hi-flow cat ARP head studs Rebuilt R154 manual OS Giken quad plate clutch C's short shift kit Supra 3.7:1 ratio torsen LSD Power FC with hand controller 440cc injectors Garrett GT3040r Tial 38mm external wastegate Walbro 255 fuel pump Blitz BOV 2jz 18psi MAP sensor Blitz Spec R Dual Solenoid Boost Controller oil catch can Tein Flex 3-way adjustable coilovers
This setup made 331.5HP@17psi (in 2006) but is in need of a tune so would be a little lower than that at the moment. I'm aiming for 400rwhp@22psi, and so my shopping list is as follows:
I've sourced everything above at reasonable prices (from what I can find) EXCEPT for the HKS cams! Best I can do is $1,400 shipped from Greenline, but I would have thought I could get that down closer to $1k - any help on a better source would be much appreciated!
Also any input about my plans would be great - suggestions about better mods etc.
