You may have read my earlier post on deciding to run a KA or do the SR swap, well since I really dont know enough about cars to really do a swap I figured the KA would be a better choice. Heres a list of what I am going to run. Any feedback on if these are good or bad would be grealty appreciated. Thanks.

Did you follow the "Reduction link" pulleys? I think those are made by ASP.

oops, your right I cant seem to find any, I thought I saw some for the 240, but guess I thought wrong. I will call them and see what a custom job might be.

WHY BUY NAME BRAND..... AND THOSE PLATINUM PLUGS ARE WAY TO HOT FOR A TURBO SETUP. MY BOSCH PLUGS WERE 2 DEGREES HOTTER THAN STOCK AND THATS THE ONLY ONES LISTED FOR MY CAR.

since when has the ka been aluminum? also, why would you want a sem cai on a turbo? the kit will come with an intake. try the ka-t forums of you havent, there are a few kits for your car. nsport, xs, f-max....

the cold air is going on before I get the turbo, I mixed in before (turbo) and after (turbo) parts. My vortec engine has an aluminum block, thats what I was mainly refering to. Like I said I am a newbie and thats why I posted this to learn what will work and what wont. Thanks to everyone that helped, but Silent Drifter, not sure whats so funny about someone that is wanting to learn how to do something.
