(07-18-2018, 05:58 AM)atypicalguy Yes you will need some elements. You can use the electronic pump on the car, but then you would need an aftermarket controller from Baldur, called a DSL1. You can also use the mechanical pump from the 603 and put some larger elements in. It needs an intercooler. The stock manifold can make that much power.
Thanks. Yeah, the basic plan for the build is ever-evolving, but right now my build looks something like this:
-7.5mm OM603 pump
-Factory manifolds for now
-HX35 using a flange adapter
-Keeping an eye out on Craigslist for an intercooler
-722.6 using Ole's controller
-3-4" downpipe and 3" exhaust
-Maybe some A611 valve springs to take us up to 6500-7000rpms?
Like I said, I'm not incredibly familiar with these engines yet, so I do appreciate your insight!

That's not a bad idea! Will have to rig up some sort of cooling system, I would think. I guess I could drop it in the car?
