1. yes, not too much, boost isnt gona break ur belt , but whats ur spec? just do ur belt and have the piece of mind that ur engine is mechanically sound, then toy with your power.

2. gates is fine, as is hks, GReddy, power enterprise etc.......

3. idler and ur smelly socks

4. tink ur question should be wat is safe on a standard turbo rather dan engine (assuming you have a standard turbo) 0.8 is enough. and safe. get a good turbo and 1.4+ bar is possible on a standard engine i reckon once done properly with the proper supporting mods in my opinion. with ecu, injectors, pump etc etc. and a goooooooooood map. im goin for just under 400 with my rb but i wanna get a metal HG and cams and springs for the craic too . :D

Over a bar on the standard turbo will cause damage/death as they are ceramic turbos and cant take big boost!
