It depends what kit you kit. Most likely bigger injectors and something to control the injectors. If you wanna boost more than 8 psi i recommend even bigger injectors a return fuel system cams rods lower compression pistons what kit are you planning on buying

dont bother getting anything else put on b4 a turbo...the exhaust manifold is going to be changed and all the pipping, u will need bigger fuel injectors, piggy back fuel management ex: e-manage...plus...dont tell all the ricers, but stupid little bolt-on's like CAI or an exhaust dont do $HIT for a D17 motor...if anything it makes the car slower, Ive seen dynos to prove that. So just save up ur cash for the turbo...if u want to mod the car now and havent done so already, get some coilovers/struts/camber kit and ull be set till u get ur turbo set up

Well, Ive seen several different types of turbos out there. I got this one i got in mind, its the T25BB, supposed to be some good stuff, but not too powerful. I dont want my engine to leave without the car, u feel me? Wat i already have in is CAI, headers, pulley kit, exhaust, nothin big, thats y im tryin to get boosted now. Wats the difference if i just have the turbo in witout the mods? Has anybody done a DYNO wit and witout those mods, or somethin similar???
