clutch is good also you can upgrade the oil pump and if you want too put down some power maybe built your bottom end.
just make sure you get some extra feul for that beast and everything will be alright.

I'd be careful with how much torque you're pushing. Anything too crazy will start to mess up your stock internals. I've read that the stock internals don't last long after 200 hp. If you haven't already done it, I'd look into doing it before you get too crazy.

Good Luck with the turbo, post pics and results once you're done, I'd love to see how it turns out.

If it were me I would have rebuilt my bottom end before I received the turbo. Don't go too high on rpms just to be safe and nicer to your engine. What other mods do you have to your car?

The top end is more important unless you are going all out, then they are both important.

I think it is the other way around the only thing the top end will do is reduce or increase lag time basically.

Actually you are wrong the cylnder head is where all the power is made it is what makes or breaks an engine its where most engine builders will spend the most time and money to extract power.... Yes you have to have a sturdy bottom end to make a ton of hp but you won't have a ton of hp without a good head...
