Soon to be turboed

Well I am currently in the process of buying ImportRacer2123's kit from him. Hopefully it will be on its way to my house very soon. Well I just wanted to say that i'll be in here all the time now and would like any advice that yall are willing to give because i'm still a little ignorant when it comes to messin with turbos. Also if anyone from GA knows where I could get an Emanage tune i would greatly appreciate that.

invest in a clutch, run low boost until properly tuned and after that..........stay at low boost unless u have money to build ur bottom end later on.

the clutch is the first thing i was gonna invest on. I was planning on running 5-6 psi till I get one. I was thinking an ACT clutch that can hold up to around 275 ft lbs tq or something around there. That way I have plenty of room to work with.

alright thanks. also should i lighten my flywheel to 11lbs or so? I heard that lightening it too much hurts if you like to drag race.

also, after I get it installed should i wait for it to break in or something before i push it? i'm worried about getting it and then takin it to redline and have something go out on me. i mean as long as its properly installed should i have no problem

No, you do not need to "break it in." You can floor it all you want. Just take it easy on banging the gears for the first hour or so. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me and i'll get back to you as soon as I can.
