power steering goes off, the AC pump also (unless you plan on using it), the charcoal canister ( black cylindrical thing near the air filter) can go and you can just plug its connecting lines shut.
Alos directly above the flywheel there are 2 hard lines for the Subaru's heater which you need to connect together if you don't use them ( don't block them).

if your in Australia you need to keep the charcoal cannister to get it legal.

you would be best to make this motor a single turbo

are your injectors yellow ? or gray ?

had'nt brought it yet but fixing to in a day or two.
heard you can wire both turbos together n the ecu reads it as one turbo.. a guy said thats how he does his. claims it goes all the way to redline like that but he uses alcohol with his.
