So I'm building this AAZ.. Need some direction..

[Jagerauto]

Giles pump is a big purchase. If its a mandatory than I should hold out on getting the pump resealed. 

I can run the electric fuel pump for now.

So where can I buy a holset turbo? I can't seem to price one.

[Jagerauto]

Also what manifold would I use? 

I read that a k26 provides stupid boost.

Also say I upgrade the turbo but not turn the boost up until an intercooler is added?

I would add the giles pump then mess with the turbo.

OR I think if you could find a K24 or T3 from an older VW you would be fine to run about 15 non intercooled and it would be cheaper than doing it all in one shot now.

k26 looks like dooky for use on a 1.6 from everything i;ve seen, also there are alot of different k26's  the compressors can flow a good amount of air but they're not efficient at higher boost pressures.  there is a guy locally who has a k26 from a 944 on his 1.6td and it supposedly hauls ass hopefully i will get a ride in it soon.  i drove a car with fmic gov mod and a k26/k24 i didn't think it was very fast.

Make sure, when you port the head, that you match the ports of both manifolds, manifold to turbo and clean up all the rough surfaces inside the exhaust manifold and inside of the turbo. Every little bit helps. Good heat shields around the turbo to keep the heat away from the 'in' side an keep the heat thru the exhaust side. Wrapping the exhaust for several feet after the turbo is good, too.

Gotta ask. How do I go about turning the boost up? Just enough to get away with no intercooler.

I use a manual boost controller (Hallman, but any one will do, you can even make one) Dead simple, and easy to adjust and set. Get enough hose for it and you can even run it into the cabin and play with the boost on the fly. Ebay has plenty of examples.

You MUST have functioning EGT and boost gauges... easy to slag your turbine wheel doing this blind.

I have an egt,boost,huge diesel tach, oil pressure and temp.

When I say huge tach it's like 4" but its so cool looking

Sorry my AAZ pump is a 11mm so... That would be a downgrade. Making my pump into a super pump shod be retarded though. Hah.
