are those the clubman racing seats, nice choice, i'm suprised you can still use the stock seatbelt. Good luck on the build, how did you melt your cat in the first place? Also, where are you getting the money for that ginormous list of items cause i want in j/k but keep updating, sounds like fun.

you don't need to crush it.

if you need more than 24 psi from it. i know of a trick. outside of this. the stock 1g will hold 24 psi just fine without getting compressor surge at low boost or vacuum.

the main ones where: 2.6 pulley, 60# injectors,cai,2.5" catback.................. but i only had that for a couple of weeks before it blew. the cat was melting closed when it was still stock and i didnt notice it in time....sounds weird i know...u would think something like that u would be able 2 tell... but i was over boosting a few pounds but it was cold out, and all my turbo buddies told me i was crazy. they said it was being caused by the cold air...Man where they wrong.
