I'm sure this doesn't need to be said since 06 is helping you out, but through my lsj turbo experience the best thing to do is first use all brand new parts, saves headaches
two if you have the resources which you do It's better to go all custom with intake mani turbo mani and exhaust you get exactly what you want and a perfect fit.
three put your new clutch in first. It's a real bummer when your clutch starts slipping when you start to crank the boost.
four make a boost leak tester it costs like 10 bucks and saves ghost chasing.
I know you are in good hands so this more so applies to others thinking about the same journey lnf or lsj

Ohh Ohh I know I know....food coloring...???? no????
But seriously...jet hot coating?
I mean it makes sense...
ET-HOT 2000 is formulated for very high temperatures. This rugged coating protects substrates up to 2,450°F, heat levels sometimes encountered in Rodding and Off-Road applications. It is available in black or grey and has a gritty and rough texture to it. It can withstand higher temperatures than the EXTREME STERLING. Some turbo applications see exhaust temps over the 1,700şF limit of EXTREME STERLING, so the JET-HOT 2000 will work better for those types of vehicles. This coating is only done in our Oklahoma City facility.

i ran a spec in my car and it took the big-ish PTE unit i was useing and the spray with out any slip. and that was vary close to what they rate the 3+ at.
BUT i did have high RPM issues with it, it seems like the PP would get stuck over center over 7-7.5k RPM.
it was hard to diagnose when i pulled it out over the winter because my TOB was absolutely destroyed and the PP had cracks in it.
the unit i had ACT make up feels good (pedal wise) so far, but i haven't been able to put any power behind it yet. another week or so and i'll actually be able to report on it.

Don't worry, I know this won't be cheap or the simplest way to do things, but if anyone knows me, and how I treat my car, it will only get only the best and BRAND NEW things.
And yeah, I'm used to my suuuuper soft clutch, I don't want anything I'd need thunder thighs for lol.
Yup that is all going to be done. Clutch first and foremost.
