Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

Hey guys, I'm gonna be installing in about 2 weeks and I want to make sure I'm not missing ANYTHING. I want to get everything in order before I start tearing ---- apart... here's what I have so far:

turbo
manifold
IC piping
couplers and t-bolts
intercooler
vacuum lines
vacuum manifold
t's & brass fittings
wastegate
BOV
injectors (w/resistors)
oil lines (complete w/some JB weld for oil pan tap)
downpipe
dumptube
fuel pump
3 bar map
wideband
chipped ECU w/datalogging
gauges (boost, a/f, oil pressure)
bigger exhaust
bolts/nuts for turbo, DP, WG, dumptube
oil pan gasket
colder plugs

Need help on finding where to get a mesh screen filter!

Can anyone think of anything else I would need before I go balls deep into my project? I read through a bunch of parts lists and can't come up with anything off the top of my head. This is my first setup and I don't feel like having 2 weeks of down time while I buy more parts... thanks.

Oil, filter, and oil pan gasket, gaskets for various exhaust flanges.

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

Colder heat range spark plugs.

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

Thanks, I forgot to add the exhaust gaskets, because I actually have them :)

I don't have an oil pan gasket, however (or oil... easy to get). Hmmmm... never bought an oil pan gasket. Will the dealer rape me for one? I'll check around the net and see what I can find.


and yes, colder plugs... thanks guys.

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

autozone should have the gasket.

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

Indeed.. just called.. $20. Not bad :) Better than 50+ at my dealer.

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

yea, im using autozone gasket, works great... also might wanna consider an egt gauge. Expensive, but'll save your engine.

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

I figured I wouldn't make a whole new thread... where can I get on of those 3" mesh screen style filters (not so much a filter since it sits flush on the turbo inlet). Home Depot FTW? That is the last thing on my list so it seems. Thanks.

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

Home depot or hardware stores tractor places.

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

WTF... nobody has these mesh screen filters... anyone know for a fact who would have it? I checked Home Depot, Autozone, Napa, Ace Hardware... I'm about to cut up my window screen into small pieces :P

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

Are u sure? Did you check out the gutter, drywall or maybe even the fireplace sections?

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

checked the gutter one... the mesh is too open. I didn't check the drywall or fireplace sections... I wouldn't think to. I was thinking like the plumbing or kitchen section would have it, but the guy that was helping me didn't suggest anything else... that dick.

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

the only other thing i could think of is aluminum insect screen which should be what you're looking for but youll probably have to get a full roll.....theres a website where you can buy just a sample which I think would be enough but its like 8 bucks not including shipping and i think a whole roll at depot would be about the same....your call on that one, unless someone else chimes in with the better answer.

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

nm a whole roll at depot is like $60+. check out the drywall repair kits

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

lol, I had some mosquito netting lying around... I cut it up and put like 4 layers on and clamped it... I think it's made of nylon or something. Will this melt and ---- my day up?

check this place out http://www.twpinc.com/twp/jsp/product.jsp?type=30

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

that would be awesome... except the min. order is like $50+ for all of those. (I don't need more than 1 sq ft :P)

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

thats the website i was talking about, you should be able to just put a sample in your cart, the only problem is im not sure as too how large the actual sample is


found out its 6"X 6", for $8 minus shipping

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

Just go to a god damn hardware store. Find one that repairs screens/windows and buy one foot of their smallest width. It's not that hard :1

Re: Final countdown -- parts checklist
 

my local hardware store sells it to me for like 50cents every time i buy a sq foot
