I'm not worried about pricing (definitely NOT balling lol), but I am about quality. As for the redundant parts, well....this is the best way I can explain it:

bought the car in 2013, didn't start anything on it until the beginning of this year. I'm taking the build slowly, step by step so I can really enjoy and understand the improvement each part contributes. (aka i'm broke lol).

That, and I'm trying to do as much as I can DIY, so I can REALLY learn.

If you're broke, why spend over $3k on parts that don't fit with the big picture?

It's your money, but the money you save is a good chunk of the total cost of a turbo kit or built motor.

This kind of build and being broke don't mix. Just sayin'

If the money you do have is burning your pockets, put into suspension at least that way you will benefit from it regardless.

The benefits of how clean E85 keeps a combustion chamber and oil alone are worth the price of admission with or without forced induction/N20. If N20 injected, a simple map switch is all that's necessary due to the high octane level (104). No more messing with fuel additives nor expensive race fuels, draining tanks etc. Additionally if cat-less, ridding the exhaust of the 93 octane rotten egg smell is priceless!

I just came out of a E85 swapped platform and did extensive research on the subject, not to mention first hand experience.

To add to the mix. I'm going to give you a quick analogy. Stock 370z is a 3/8 Rachel. You want it better and to be able to do more and more powerful so you buy sockets and extensions adapters ect. But you plan to be even more powerful and stronger.. you decide you want to buy 3/8 impact wrench. Sure some of those sockets and stuff will work with the impact wrench when used lightly but that's just some. You will end up needing impact gun stuff to be able to get the most out of it.

You buying an parts and installing now in somewhat like the above. You want more out of what you have but plan to go all out later. The problem is that some of the stuff don't work with the later plans.

Put on the return system and don't hook up the regulator to no vacuum source, set the pressure to oem (60 psi I think) ... If you got boost plans. You'll be fine.
