I am thinking a boost gauge and a bleed valve will be ok but to what boost?
Air filter and exhaust but what cheap exhausts are available or is it all custom work?
Ian.

I'd try and keep the boost round 10-11 psi for track use. You could run 12 but round a track it would be risky. Exhaust are custom only, powerflow should be able to make you one for £350ish for 2.5" system, or if you can weld make your own. If you want a bit more power you could probably get hold of a decent T25 for around £140, and it pretty much bolts straight on, keep an eye out for one on the SXOC.

Do must people weld the diff's for track and drift use?

I'd look for an s13 clutch, slightly harder wearing and they also fit straight on. For the Diff if your on a budget and want a bit of drift action, a mig-spec 3-way welder is the way to go. Or if you wanna get a bit more technical an s13 VLSD can be made to fit, which would probaby be more suitable for grip diving but would be hard work to drift with IMO.
