Default Need help with the trubo guys...

Alright, my turbo for my EX is on the way (finally) It's a Greddy kit...now I've gone to the Greddy website to see what the kits consist of but there's no "list" of what it comes with. Do you guys know? What additonal parts am I going to have to buy? missing link? injectors? blah blah. . .any help would be appreciated. I want to have all I need before it gets here so it's a day project and not a weekend project.
Thanks,
TC

manifold, turbo, rising rate fuel pressure regulator, air filter, bunch of pipes, tubes, oil lines, nuts, bolts, blah blah blah

For this kit, you'll definitely want a blowoff valve. Gauges you'll want are boost, exhaust gas temperature, oil pressure...

First turbo install? It's probably not gonna be a day project unless you've got help. Weekend if you're pretty handy. I recommend finding an alternative way to get to work for the next week, just in case.

Missing link for sure...or you can make your own out of aquarium check valves. You need at least 3 to bleed off the boost from the map. If you want to make bunches of power, you'll wind up putting bigger injectors on your motor.

Use the blue box that comes with the kit and you can boost to 8 psi. Save your money and when you want to really raise the boost, get the Hondata Stage4b. At that point, the missing link, FPR, and VAFC, it all goes on the FOR SALE FORUM. The Hondata, fuel pump, injectors and possibly an ECU swap will be all you need.
Did you get an intercooler? an oil cooler? You live in San Antonio where it is god awful hot so get both of them, trust me. I am assuming that you ordered a BOV, BOV flange, turbo timer, and, at a minimum, a boost gauge and someway to mount it - pillar, gauge bezel, etc. I live in Austin so if you need any help, give me a shout.

You might want to invest in an EGT guage while you're at it...I hear that is extremely important and in some cases more important than the A/F guage.

Did you say Greddy kit in your first post? That's some heavily upgraded Greddy kit! What's left from the original kit? The oil lines?
