Sorry to hear you got scammed. Did you pay with PayPal?
I paypaled, I will be able to get all my money back, it was only 95 bucks all in all. Greddy is going to cancel my order too so I am lucky.

So I picked up the innvoate oil temp/pressure gauge and there A/F gauge. I think I will skip the wrap and turbo bag for the time being. I do not see much to gain, the turbo is on the bottom, and the probability of getting fluid on it is not a risk I would like to take for 5 degrees. I believe it is on to the clutch next!

BP turbo build/advice
 
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.

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.

I'm not taking the headers off and if it gets oil/fuel doesn't it go up quick? I also have lightened fly wheel, carbon fiber drive shaft to and I went with the bb for the quicker spool. Does it make that much of a difference?

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.

You don't wrap the headers, wrap the crossover pipe and the downpipe. Wrapped or not, if you leak fuel on the turbo you've got a major problem. Plus, if you don't wrap, all of the plastic connectors anywhere near the hot stuff will get crispy and brittle. It's a mistake to skip the heat management.

Do the heat wrap at minimum.... turbos and their piping gets pretty hot and the VQ platform already known for their overheating issues. take a few nights and wrap them. look at this review for instance... at the very end note what happens... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m3D08CTOCU
