No need to bump. Looks like you're on the right track if you have the money to spend. You shouldn't be going above 500hp on stock internals. Also make sure you're getting a clutch that can handle that power.

Welcome aboard, man... Slow up, get some punctuation in those posts... it'll be way easier for people to read (especially the people who have the answers you're looking for). :)

If you've got the $6k to spend, I'd take some time and make sure everything is going to 'play nice' together.

I'm sure someone will pop in who's better-equipped to comment on the turbo choice (for replacing your OEM ones).

I think I'd start off with the maintenance items (TB change, water pump, etc) and make sure everything is perfect before bumping up the boost. You already know that every lb of boost increases the likelihood that something weak will go bad. Maybe even find a set of upgraded OEM turbos for the time being, while you decide on cosmetics, SMIC, and exhaust configurations...

There's a reason a lot of Z32TT projects start off awesome, and get parted out.

BTW< I edited your title. "Mod help" looks like you need your password changed or something. ;)

Good point. Thanks . Any suggestions on clutch kits? Also I remeber when i used to drive the car in 5th gear the gear would grind i thought it was a bad transmission but this past spring when i went to put a short throw shifter the whole shifter was not bolted to body of the car, so shifter can freely go up or down as if it was a new car where you had to push down to go into reverse

I haven't had to deal with the clutch as mine came already upgraded. I'd give Coz at ConceptZ a call, and he can guide you to a good clutch for your power goals, and help you make out a shopping list for the rest of your goals.
