Default first turbo set up

this is my first turbo set up im putting together and i just have a couple questions. im building a kit and i already have the manifold, t25 turbo, bov, intercooler, piping, and 370cc injectors.

what else do i need? i know i need a tapped oil pan, oil feed and return lines, colder spark plugs. what else do i need? fuel management unit?

do i need a fuel pressure regulator or will my injectors do the same thing?

Yeah, you need a socketed ECU that can be tuned, a FMU and FPR will not be required. You also need a downpipe, couplers and t clamps, walbro fuel pump, and some other things check the FAQs. It helps out alot.

The choice is yours, i will be sending Phearable my ECU to have it chipped with a Crome basemap. I'm not one to change things alot so after i have it tuned i'm letting it be. Thats why i'm going with the cheaper crome option. But the choice is yours, there are many threads comparing hondata to crome to uberdata etc, so i suggest you search for those and read up as i have been doing.

You get a BASEMAP from one of those placees. That basemap is a temporary tune to get you to a tuner, you shouldn't boost on a basemap. A basemap is just an estimated tune based on the specifications of your engine. Get to a tuner as soon as you can. That is the proper way.

EDIT: I learned the hard way, do it right

Boosting on a modified basemap = Cheap
3 Stretched Rods
3 Bent valves
= not cheap.

300hp is boring anyway,jk
