I would say start with the easy and most sensible things, if you have a standard exhaust replace this with a more free flowing one which will not restrict the turbo, try a 3/3.5" mandrel bent stainless dump amd depending one your money situation chose the rest of your exhaust from there. I think ...

Like Red80 said you can adjust the boost with a bleed valve/boost controller. Just get a wastegate spring of say 7psi and add a boost controller to that. Depending on the money you are wanting to spend i would reccomend that you electronic boost control will be alot more efficient for not only the ...

You still will need a wastegate in a diesel situation as the pressure activated diaphram within it will regulate the amount of boost you will run. Rather it is a BOV that is not really needed unless you would like the wanky noise. As it was stated a BOV simply relieves the pressure when the throttle ...

Plexiglass is pretty expensive as your'e going to need it pretty thick. If your contemplating spending around 500 for the box, just make up a fibreglass one, you can do it yourself it is pretty easy. Have you tried looking at 10" subs if you dont listen to alot of rnb etc two 10s will probably suit ...

I think you will find it hard finding a 12" sub with a magnet that will fit in behind the seat, (perhaps a cheaper brand SVC sub they seem to skimp on magnet size) you could just mount them as you suggested on an MDF board and use the volume of the enclosed area behind the seat. I dont know how this ...
