You can get the 710n from your local dealer. It is off a TT and it will be able to handle the boost you are going to make. If you feel like spending more money (which you don't need to) you can do a search on these forums for "diverter valve" and I'm sure any other options will appear.

if you have the 710n valve, install it in the direction that your stock one comes off. if you have a nice aluminum or steel DV, install it in whatever direction holds the most pressure, usualy that is pressure hose to the side of the DV, not the bottom of the DV. but they are all different. really it doesnt matter much for your setup.

Ok thanks for all of your help.
So i should just order 4 spark plugs and a new DV. well besides sending out my ecu. I shouldn't need new injectors correct?
Oh and what heat rating should the spark plugs be. I was thinking about 6?

NGK BKR7E or 6E @ .028

Get a used aluminum dv like a Forge for a little more money if you can. It lasts forever and there are no rubber guts to tear.

I guess i will take a trip to the classifieds.
If I will be replacing my vacuum lines, should i get this done professionally, or if its not to hard, is there a write up?

do the vaccuum lines yourself, just pull out the old braided lines and replace with new lines - not that hard
