Since This Is Going To Be My First Build I'm Going To Be Posting Alot Of Questions......Firstly Like I Said I'm Swapping Out The N/A Motor For A TT Motor.... So Far I'm Searching For These Items:

Stand Alone ECU
Wideband O2 Sensor
boost controller/gauge
turbo timer
intercooler
wastegate
blow off valve
cluster gauge

Is There Any Other Things That I Missed? If So Please Let Me Know

the other intercooler, the other blow off valve, the other waste gate... there's a ton of reading you need to do before you're near ready to take this on.

this is a good place to start, but if you want to upgrade any, that's a whole different area of research you need to do. you don't just buy stuff with good descriptions and good prices if you want to make a z that's going to perform well and last a while.

you'd be a way happier person if you sold your n/a and bought a tt. that is all.

i can't afford to go out and buy an already turbo Z...so that's why i was going with the swap

It will cost you at least twice as much to convert an NA as it would to buy a TT. Converting is only recommended for extremely nice condition NA Zs (or those with considerable sentimental value, like your father who died of a heart attack was the original owner).

And Why Do You Type All Your Sentences With Every Word Capitalized Like This?

Second... I did all the labor on my swap my self, and had I not upgraded a lot of things and gone for a completely stock TT, I could of sold mine and bought a nice one, probably with a few small mods even. As it stands now, I upgraded a lot, and have spent a lot.

U trying to go above the stock hp ? Are you going to do it your self ? if your doing the swap should wait and build the tt to the max before your drop it in your car. For the price of a nice tt U could build do a swap and have supporting mods for. Plus Youd have chance to inspect motor and fix anythign thats broken ect.

Your analysis doesn't take into account the fact that he'd have more money to spend on a TT, because he'd be selling the NA.

the reason i'm doing it this way is because noone on the island has a TT for sale for less than 10K....the ones that are TT are already built, so i to do a swap....a TT motor with the stock trubos go for about $2200 and my shell is going to cost $1200 so for me it's a bit cheaper
