hello, i am trying to get together all the bits for my 2001 amk s3 to go to a gt2871r and am looking for knowledgeable people to give me a few pointers :)

My current spec (performance related)

NEUSPEED INDUCTION KIT
FORGE TIP
FORGE INTERCOOLER HOSES
FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER
ROSS MACHINE INLET MANIFOLD
PHENOLIC INLET MANIFOLD GASKET
440CC INJECTORS
3BAR FPR
PIPEWERX DOWN PIPE
MILTEK CENTER
CUSTOM BACKBOX
N249 DELETE
FORGE DIVERTER VALVE
FORGE ALLOY CHARGE PIPE

Parts in hand ready to fit

ECS STAGE 3 CLUTCH
FIDANZA FLYWHEEL (aware some people have issues)
APT 3 T25 FLANGE EXHAUST MANIFOLD (aware some people have issues)

Things I know I need

Uprated Rods
Turbo unit itself
Oil / Water lines for turbo
Remap


Things I'm not so sure about

Larger injectors ?
any other fittings for turbo unit ?
New fixings for exhaust manifold ?
Downpipe requires customising ?
r32 throttle body worth adding into the mix ? (got adapter plate)




Any advice appreciated, cheers

440s will be too small as Dave has already said. Consider an inline fuel pump and some 550s at least.

Rods, wise. I shall say no more.
Turbo, best place to get them is from GT3 on ebay. Various options - depends what you want. Do some research.
If you are not buying a kit, these will need to be bought or made to suit.
Remap, Stage 3 custom. Simple.
 
thanks dave and welly ..

550s and inline pump .. next on shopping list (is there a particular brand/model ?)

Yes seen gt3 selling them on ebay .. i did find a uk site selling them for £840 inc vat which is quite a price difference, although there isnt a lot of detail on the spec
Garrett GT2871R Ball Bearing Turbocharger (universal) - Honda - Engine - Future Racing Developments

Oil/Water lines -- seen kit on ebay from hong-kong for around £7


i'm not too sure on wastegate set-up/requirements, its something i really have limited knowledge on
