The best set of gears on the market right now are CNC and made by RiotSC on AirsoftMechanics.com. A set runs $110 USD shipped I believe.

For solid 8mm bushings I would check out McMaster.com. ID will be 3mm, OD should be 8mm so you have to worry about how large the flange is on your gearbox (I would just pull out an old 8mm bearing and measure it with a caliper).

Also, sorry to tell you but your setup is going to be prone to failure no matter what you do running 12 volts on a Systema Turbo, especially at that extremely low FPS (which you probably short stroked at least 2 teeth). I would also make sure you buy a new pinion gear (Eagle Force), and fix the Turbo's huge design fault (how there's nothing isolating the + from the - besides a thin coating of anodization).
