Couldn't agree more, and now is the time to do it while everything is fresh and clean prior to install.

For clutch flywheel, Southbend, Specialty Z, and OS Giken should definitely be at the top of your lists paired with Motul or Redline fluids. Hit up Next Level Performance for all your clutch/flywheel upgrades.

Amazon. either two 50' or one 100' of heat wrap will be fine.... Sasha (boosted performance) can supply the turbo bag for sure....

This maybe a dumb question so please don't kill me. But can you run the stock flywheel (lets just say it had very low mileage) and just switch the clutch when going turbo?

As long as the pressure plate you select bolts up to the OEM flywheel you should be fine.

You could, but ditching the stock dual mass flywheel is a very noticeable and worthwhile upgrade. Flywheels aren't that expensive in the context of a turbo build. The only drawback is really the increase in noise.

So I look at Summit racing, What do you guys use to tie it to the pipes, and how many ties should I get? Also should I get the t4 turbo blanket?

Chuck33079 · 02-10-2016, 10:40 PM

Just get a roll of safety wire and the pliers. Don't use the ties.

Safety wire is the way to go.

I would order the DEI blanket from Summit.

I got the heat wrap and blanket now, so next thing I wanted to work on was the fuel system. What type of return style are guys useing? I like the CJM S1-S Fuel System, VQ37VHR does anyone run this and how is it? If not are there other options out there? thank for the help btw.
