Hey guys I just started buying my turbo parts today. Going to go with a home built turbo kit. But I need help from you turbo guys. Now one of the things I want to know is what your HP and TQ readings are and whats in your kits to give you your HP and TQ?

Also want to kow what you guys are doing about the fuel sys and E- Management?
Any help would be great and soon I hope to join turbo club soon

I have a few more:
1. Did you guys install your kits yourself or did a shop do it for you?
2. How hard is it to run the RSX injectors and what else will I need?
3. What is all this stuff and where can I buy it:boost harnesses and boost sensor?
4. Also do I need this stuff to run a turbo?

1. I installed it my self
2. Rsx injectors is the easiest part
3. This is just to read the boost
4. You need a boost controller
here is what your gonna need if you don't want to kill your engine
Greddy E-manage or Aem Ems
Rsx injectors
Boost controller
Turbo timer if you want to be really safe i have one and recomend one
Return fuel system is great if you can afford one but you can live without it
Make sure all your oil lines are good and you should be good to go if you have any other questions pm me

actually i think you will eventually need a return fuel system, my car is running rich enough to through cel all the time, and yeah i already had it tuned on a dyno, my tuner said it can't be leaned out enough to make it work

did it all myself, might i suggest you read a LOT about turbos in general and then read up on what others have done on this forum. The key to succesful boosting is knowledge. I would suggest you read thru ALL of the links every page , then RE_read them all about 5 more times. This link is prolly one of the most informative sites http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq...rbo.html#Turbo And for some very informative books i suggest reading Maximum Boost by Corkey Bell All of this information is VERY helpful, even if your not going to do the install yourself. It will be very helpful if you have the knowledge to convey to your installer what it is you need/want.

Sounds good ill see if I can find the book. What do you guys think about Nitrous?
I mean it will take me some time to get all the parts for my turbo and im going to rebuild right before I install my turbo. So would Nitrous make my car conpetive till I can get all my turbo together?
