I would do the clutch after the edge and lift pump. Then save up and do the clutch or wait and do the clutch, turbo, and injectors at the same time as well. There are a few different routes.

Me for example I did mine backasswards and shoulda done it another way saving me time and money.

Alrighty, so clutch will get pushed back a bit than, lift pump can jump up in line. . I think its time for me to really jump head first into turbos. I'm kinda digging the compound idea, and am confident i can get all the fabrication taken care of easily. I will just need to dive head first and do some research and find out what is really involved in building your won set up. just read through the thread your put up after making your set up Raw, looks sick, and budget puts it down enough that it is a doable thing. Although i think i would play it safe and do my head studs at the same time. seeing the PSI your set up was able to do so quickly. Unless scott knows of a good compound set up sitting on one of his shelves i could pick up on a budget this summer. . I will hopefully get the lift pump this month, than EJWA either February or march. if work will pick up and get money flowing again.

Sounds like you have made a smart plan. My system works well for me, and the price is pretty hard to beat. Especially as that S471 came at such a "discount". Even if a guy did have to buy a S400, that would add around $1000 to the build. Making it around $1700 compared to kits advertised at $2400.

yeah, so the trick for me is to just build my knowledge base so that i can do it once, and do it right. and not be stuck with a "wait...now what do i do" moment. I honestly feel stupid here since i have a huge knowledge base for just about every other aspect of vehicles, but diesels and turbos are still new to me. i wish i could just find something i can sit down and read through and build my knowledge base up easily instead of constantly searching for one thing or another. i haven't found alot of clear and concise articles about the details, just pretty much broad stuff
