Doesn't sound bad or anything. What about a wastegate? Tuning? Side mount intercooler? I'd look into a front mount. Not sure where you would mount a side mount on a honda. Could just be my own ignorance though.

you might not need the boost controller. what did that T-3 come from? stock boost might be good enough. i didnt see a wastegate listed, so i assume it's some sort of stock issue T3.

personally, i dont trust the FMU method. but if you're going in that direction, you need a pump. the walbro 255 in-line hi-pressure pump is good. also, it's good to get a fuel pressure gauge. dont try for more than 8lbs of boost.

you will probably want to get an EGT gauge. also, an air filter.

what side kona you from man? i hear GOLDBERG is the man to talk to up there
