New To F/I = Questions.....
Hey guys, im new to the turbo game, i was wondering, i found a kit on ebay for about 900$, includes wastegate, blowoff, I/C, piping, T25 turbo, cast turbo manifold, and fuel pressure reg.
Is this enough to bolt on and run as is on my DX? what im planning on doing is installing, and running @ 5-6psi, then upgrading as i go, but i dont know what i NEED as apposed ot what i should have to up the boost. What are the crucial parts ot make this RUN [ie: do i need engine management? exhaust? internals?anything else?] and what should i be looking at getting once i have installed and learn some more? [ie: should i get rsx-s inj? feul pump? pinstons? rods? anything else?]

to each their own perogative. me ID NEVER DO THAT.....i paid that much(ur turbo kit price) for a GREDDY type 31 GSR INTERCOOLER setup kit back in the day. the WHP ur looking for with require 7-8psi to attain. and with that intercooler....it wont flow the air well enough to make that goal. never start a turbo project with the mentality of buy cheap now and buy quality later....bc u will never save enough money to get quality.....ull spend it all on making and keeping the car running with the shitty parts u bought at first. start out buying quality...then step up to baller status parts and u will be much happier from the get go

well, considering that the manifold they give you is shiz which is most likely that chrome looking obx manifold that is made too low, it will crack on you without a doubt. I don't know, my friend bought a kit off of ebay with a cast-iron manifold and it has managed to keep up for the past year and a half but from my point of view, I wouldn't buy it. Just piece a kit together yourself like I did and you will be able to get exactly what parts you want/need and save a bunch of money. Just make sure you know what you are doing first 
I recommend the HKS manifold
