Skipping the heat wrap is a bad call. It'll never be easier. It keeps everything around it from getting toasted. It's a hell of a lot more than a 5 degree reduction. Plus, keeping the heat inside the pipes helps velocity, which helps spool.

Couldn't agree more, and now is the time to do it while everything is fresh and clean prior to install.

I am 2 pages late but hc_416 what clutch are you going with? I am looking for a clutch as I am planning to go boost my g37 soon. Also will be my daily so hoping I can find one with relatively similar to stock clutch feel.

And for the clutch not sure yet I want O.S.Giken but I think they might be a little overpriced. I have my Southbend on there now and I am thinking about giving them a look.

For clutch flywheel, Southbend, Specialty Z, and OS Giken should definitely be at the top of your lists paired with Motul or Redline fluids. Hit up Next Level Performance for all your clutch/flywheel upgrades.

Amazon. either two 50' or one 100' of heat wrap will be fine.... Sasha (boosted performance) can supply the turbo bag for sure....

dei titanium. I get mine from summit, but you can get it anywhere.

^^this^^

This maybe a dumb question so please don't kill me. But can you run the stock flywheel (lets just say it had very low mileage) and just switch the clutch when going turbo?

As long as the pressure plate you select bolts up to the OEM flywheel you should be fine.

You could, but ditching the stock dual mass flywheel is a very noticeable and worthwhile upgrade. Flywheels aren't that expensive in the context of a turbo build. The only drawback is really the increase in noise.

So I look at Summit racing, What do you guys use to tie it to the pipes, and how many ties should I get? Also should I get the t4 turbo blanket?

Just get a roll of safety wire and the pliers. Don't use the ties.

Safety wire is the way to go.

Yes, T4.

Amazon.com: DEI 010201 8" Stainless Steel Locking Ties - Pack of 8: Car Electronics

Yes. Use the safety wire. Those ties SUCK.

So I bought 100 FT roll of wrap and the safety wire. Were should I get the turbo blanket from Sasha or summit/ebay?

I would order the DEI blanket from Summit.

I got the heat wrap and blanket now, so next thing I wanted to work on was the fuel system. What type of return style are guys useing? I like the CJM S1-S Fuel System, VQ37VHR does anyone run this and how is it? If not are there other options out there? thank for the help btw.
