Default Question About Greddy Turbo Kit

I plan on gettin a greddy turbo kit for my 99 civic si. I'm only gonna be boostin at 6 psi. I just wanted to know if i needed a fuel pressure regulator or an upgraded fuel pump to do so. Also, is there anything else i should be looking into buying? I already have the full 2.5" exhaust setup. Thanks.

At only 6 psi, I wouldn't worry too much about anything. A greddy kit is as complete as you will need for only 6 psi so just go with it. If you plan on raising the boost, I'd get a larger fuel pump, injectors, and regulator, a VAFC and an AVCR from A'PEXi. Good luck.

You don't really need the fuel pump or the FPR...I'd recommend getting rid of the blue box and go for an EMS.

I run one step colder plugs and a Walbro 190lhr fuel pump. Both won't cost you more than 120 bucks and are a good peice of mind IMHO. I also agree that I would'nt run the blue box. Just get an AFC, not the EMS, as you won't be able to pass state inspections with the EMS due to the new OBD testing.
