If you do a search there are is HUGE amount of info out there on how to get to 300whp. First, I wouldnt go with the Fluid upgrade, nothing against them, but the BNR upgrade puts a water cooled CHRA, and a bunch of other good stuff.

Supercharger will only put you around 280whp. I think BHR sells overdriven pulleys for the supercharger. Might wanna talk to Charles R. Hill if you go that route.

All of these questions are answered in detail throughout this forum. The fuel pump is fine for the hp level you are looking to achieve, the apex seals are fine. Any time you add forced induction it will obviously shorten the life of the engine, extra stress that isnt supposed to be there. The only thing you will for sure have to upgrade is injectors. Get 2 blue injectors from a 4 port automatic. That will be plenty of fuel and upgrade the ignition to the BHR upgrade.

You should have mentioned your from Istanbul,Turkey. Who was going to install this TC/SC for you? I am going to assume your access to rotary experts in Turkey is limited. I do not think going the forced induction path is wise for you.

Just to point out the obvious to avoid confusion. That "greddy turbo upgrade" is not a full turbo kit. It is the parts you need to upgrade if you already have a greddy turbo kit.
