Like everything else is stock, with some intent in the future to upgrade. I mean, stock injectors, plugs, downpipe, all that good stuff... Anyone?

Rep Power: 0 id make sure you have injectors of some sort to get enough fuel there. downpipe, you can use your stock one if you want. plugs you could run, but it wouldnt be safe. you would want those before you boost since they run cooler. (ik20 or 22, I forget what one).
Id make sure you have everything you need before you boost, so you have more uptime, and less downtime from not doing it right
peace

Rep Power: 0 well... I'm thinking e-manage right now, cause dezod provides working maps, although I know every car is different, but I can atleast use it till I get tuned.

what will i need
i have an 05 civic and i just ordered turbo, manifold and piping but since ive been reading these threads i see that i need more stuff im new to boost so can someone please tell me everything i need in order to run at 8 psi of boost without blowing my engine and where i can get it thanks
I have to upgrade my plugs because i have blown three sets already because the turbo produces so much heat it screws them. You gotta run colder plugs Some Injectors and e-manage to me is the best but everyone has different views. I wanna get better internals so i can run like 18 psi like the srt 4s then we will see who is cocky.

-2 plugs colder than stock for your new spark plugs (auto store can tell you what ones are 2 colder)
-something to tune the injectors with (eManage, vafcII, safcII)ABSOLUTELY NEEDED
-tune it
-intercooler is good to have definately, otherwise the air is pretty damn hot going into the motor
-wastegate
-wideband a/f gauge, boost gauge, egt gauge is good to have
-pay for a tune
-boost controller if you want to turn the boost up more than the wastegate setting, when you buy a wastegate, I would get one with a 6psi spring, unless you plan on boosting like crazy (blown motor)
-there is more, but that will get you boosting pretty reliably.
PM StreetLevelPerformance, or Dezod. They can help you with any parts you may need to buy.
