Default Gettting a turbo SOON...need some info

im soon getting a T3/T4 hybrid turbo for about 400$... and i have some questions before i install everything....

1)im getting the turbo and the intercooler... and i was wondering what else do i need..(besides BOV, external wastegate, exhaust manifold,downpipe, and tubing) is there anything else i need to install to run it? or run it safe?

2) i've read many threads about how much psi should i put down, since i have stock internals.......( 6-7 psi )
i basically have a aem short ram intake and Apexi N1 cat back exhaust in my 95 LS..... how much psi would you guys prefer to use?

Thanks Alot guys for the help...

how many psi depends on you. is your motor built up to par? is this going to be your street car or track *****?

just becuase your getting a t3/t4 doenst mean it will be the right one for you. do you know what trim your getting the $400 turbo is? is it the correct trim for your goals?

there are more questions with your question.

Your questions right now is too broad, you need to get exact specs on the turbo before buying it. You need to tell us your goals for the car before anyone can give you a descent answer.

Misc things that add up in the end are Silicone couplers, Clamps, Oil Lines(return/feed), Vacuum lines, Boost controller, Boost gauge ect.....

Most important you need to search and figure out what fuel management fits your budget and needs. Go to FI forum, there is plenty of info there, but search before you post or no one will help you.

YES! Engine management. If you dont have a hondata/uberdata/chrome/custom ECU or something along those lines you will not last long.
