    Lots of mods going on in the next two weeks, what little parts do I need?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I took two weeks off work to get a lot done on this car, and I'm just wondering what little parts I'll need, and where I can get them.

    Here's a list of parts going on the car, some are new but if they don't include necessary gaskets/hardware/etc. please let me know!
    -CTS FMIC (used)
    -GFB DV+ (used)
    -034 test pipe (new)
    -eBay downpipe (new, no hardware)
    -Street density motor/trans/snub mount (new)
    -FRP Euro front control arm kit (new, OEM)
    -swapping used HPFP internals into my housing, don't think any parts are required for this unless an o-ring is torn or something
    -ECS Turbo Inlet Pipe (new)

    For maintenance doing the timing belt, cam follower, a wheel bearing, and fixing my leaky valve cover gasket.

    Also, whats the PCV all about? How do I know if mine is failing, and what parts need to be replaced? thanks!

    May as well do you main seals if you are going to have all that out! Id pick up some quality liquid gasket as well. Get new hardware for the downpipe. Its worth it.

    I know you don't live near cold weather but get a map torch for those control arms.. helped me.

    Gaskets for everything. Clamps and piping. The correct coolant. A new valve cover gasket. An assortment of wrenches mostly 10mm, 13mm, 16mm, 18mm but others may be needed. Patience.

    SoCal, it gets pretty rough here. Car is from cold weather climate though, so thanks for the tip I've got a butane torch already. Ordering a front crank seal with the timing belt kit, gonna do the cam seal as well. I'll save the rear main for when I do the clutch (which may be after the tune if the stock can't handle it). Thanks!

    Have tons of tools available, might have to pick up a few more triple squares but other than that I'm good there. My dad's a mining equipment mechanic by trade and I'll be doing the work at his house.

    I'll swing by the hardware store and pick up an assortment of hose clamps, by piping do you mean coolant hoses? pretty much all the other piping is getting replaced already except vacuum but I think I'm good there.

    I really haven't dug into this car yet, but I'm guessing gaskets will be turbo to test pipe, test pipe to DP, DP to rest of exhaust. Does the intake take any gaskets anywhere? I figured they were all hoses and clamps.

    Thanks!

    I would get a map torch, I tried using a propane torch and it didn't work. Map torch, freed the bolts almost instantly. They are not too pricey.

    I meant intercooler piping. The gaskets you can get at an autoparts store or ebay but yeah that sounds like the right amount of gaskets. The intake doesn't need a gasket.
