   iwant to buy parts over time if yo get me rather than forking out for it all in one hit, thats why a parts list would be great, i know the obvious things like turbo, intercooler, manifold etc but dont know exactly what i would need, thanks for replies

   aye yeah was at lees usually down there every few weeks, what motor you got? tbh if your going turbo best speak to lee as he can pretty much build what you want or if you got a budget then can help spec something up easily.
   
   End of day depends on how much you want to spend
