how mucnh money do you wanan spend?

The greddy profec b 2 is pretty good... Also, the profec E-01, and an hks ebc are higher end, and nicer.

For the turbo timer, the greddy one works out nicely.. Turboimport.com has a nice one for 72 bucks or so.

I totally do not understand what you meany by your last sentence...
You need engine management if thats what youre asking. You need to get a chipped obd1 ecu, and have it tuned.

You could tune with something thats cheaper...

I wouldnt recommend cheaping out when it comes to tuning.

400 should be enough to find someone to chip your ecu and at least get a street tune on crome.

yep, and if worse comes to worse, and you cant get any more money, dont worry about the boost controller either.. Just tune to the psi that the wastegate spring is it.

Whats a boost controller or a turbo timer gonna do for you if you blow yout motor?

Yea or:

Ditch the turbo timer and just wait in the car for a minute or so after driving.
Get a manual boost controller, TurboXS offers some great stuff and it's super affordable.

Your priorities should be - tuning &gt; anythin else.
