you'll also want to check if any piping or hoses are getting blown loose, stuff like that. best advice is to read all the information that is already posted in this forum, there's a lot and should keep you busy for a few nights

yeah, what dragoon said.......check pipes, lines and you must change oil around 2,500 miles.
Also, if you drive like a normal person, your car won't be under much boost at all.......you are under boost when your car is under a load and you jump on the throttle.

i have the kit and use it daily driving... have it set to 5psi.
but as you i drive "Normal" and dont beat on the car.
i change my oil every 1700-2000 miles, and every other week ill just check the pipes
make sure they are still tight.
as for hoses i just look make sure everything is looks okay.

you need an electric boost controller...
or you can get something like Hallman boost controller which is manual boost with an adaptor piece you can get to add in the cabin.
