Need Help Piecing My Turbo

Ok these are the things I already have for my custom turbo kit.

- HKS Exhaust Manifold
- Garrett T25 Turbo
- Intercooler
- Greddy Type RS Blow Off Valve
- RSX-S Fuel Injectors


These are the things I know I need to get:

- Greddy Emanage
- Intercooler Piping
- Fittings and **** like that
- Gauges

First I need to know whether this piping would be ok to use for the turbo, Intercooler Piping

Alright and if that intercooler piping is ok to use what should I get first???

1) The Emanage
2) The piping
3) or the Gauges

And finally what else would I need besides everything that I listed??? I would greatly appreciate some help.

meseetree is on a distinguished road
well first off that will not be all the piping you need you will need one to go to the throttle body and one to go to the turbo.

as far as what to get you need piping you should have gauges but the greddy emanage is not needed untill pushing high psi like 11 or more

What you NEED, is dendant on your view

Some sort of fuel management will be needed and the e-manage would be a good proven choice.

BoV flange

Pipe for Down pipe

Flange for Downpipe

O2 sensor bungs

Flange from DP to exhaust pipe

Gaskets for manifold to head/manifold to turbo

oil supply line (and fittings)

oil drain line (and fittings)

Brass "T" and fittings for supply/ or oil filter sandwich adapter

is it a water cooled T25? if so hoses and fittings for that

Return conversion would be nice but not a MUST have

Wide band would be nice but not needed

Vacuum manifold of some sort

oil pan gasket

and im SURE there is LOTS im forgetting

I got a lot of my turbo stuff from HERE But there are many suppilers even here on the boards like Dezod . My GT28R required that i fabricate a mount for the wastegate after i clocked the turbo to where i needed it. Check out my pictures if you would like to see....

I had to fabricate all the piping myself (welder and power cutoff band saw) I relocated my winshield washer bottle with an aftermarket bottle that is shown in my pictures. The install is still on-going but im taking my sweet @$$ time. Only thing left now is the rsx injectors and tunning and im done. I've done all myself and i wouldnt say it was easy, but then i wouldnt say it was hard either.
