sc42+ turbo
fuel pump and pressure reg

3 port boost solenoid

To be honest, I know a lot have said 450 is the limit on a 2.5 even with closed deck inserts, but if you look at the number of 2.5 engines now running very good power levels well in excess of this level using Alyns inserts this kind of puts my mind at rest. If I has a CDB conversion on mine and better studs I'd push mine way over 500 happily.
