Message	I concur with Barry. I upgraded my turbos a couple of years ago and "took the car back to time zero" by replacing all the hoses, belts (including timing), clutch, seals, water pump, etc. I even had them open the transmission to inspect it. The amount of additional labor was not significant as the engine was out and most things had to be removed/reinstalled anyway. I have never regretted paying for replacing the parts that looked OK (like the clutch). It is much better to do it all at once than to have to access these parts later. I see from your bio that you have 555 injectors. What turbo's are you installing? If you think you will ever want larger injectors, do it now. I made the mistake of not doing it when the engine was out and it will cost me much more should I wish to upgrade in the future. One additional thing: don't forget to have the ECU reflashed for the new turbos if you are upgrading.
