Default questions on turbo install of course

ok so im planning my route, to smoothly install a turbo without ne suprises, on my 2000 ex myself, but of course i have questions

so im looking at the apexi kit w/ the fmic, the cheapest i got qouted for this kit is $2800, is that a good price, know where i can get a better deal? also hows the apexi's twin chamber bov?

ok now ive been reading all over the web boards, and ive come up with this conclusion, please tell me if im correct

i plan on getting the walbro 255 lr/hr fuel pump, vafc, and the dsm 450cc injectors /w resistor box and wiring according to this article, http://www.thedropshop.tv/vafc.htm, is that all i need to do to do the complete install, do i still need to get myself to a dyno?

more questions:
1)where can i find these injectors cheap
2) any advantage to getting the rc engineering injectors over these
3)do i need the msd btw along with this setup
4) is a boost controller neccessary at this point
5)how does this method of engine management compare to the optional apexi fuel upgrade and the Honda/Acura Power FC

if i missed ne thing please ask me about it

thanks,

chris

That price is pretty good for both the kit and intercooler, IM 2kteg and see what he can do...

as for the questions:
1) ebay, dsm trader, thepartstrader.com, dsm forums
2)w/ RC don't have to worry about resistor box and they are brand new...DSM ones are old, you could get them rebuilt...
3)not really, but it is a good investment
4)depends on your goals, i say no at this point
5)it is better then the Apexi fuel kit.

I really like the Apexi kit, ball-bearing, AWESOME quality...
