so, while im waiting for this damn backordered kit to come in , what should i do to prep for my turbo?

all maintanence stuff has been taken care of: fuel filter, air filter, cap and rotor, spark plugs, flush coolant and radiator, valve adjustment, and prob a few things i dont even remember rite now

recently my tranny went so i bought one off my friend and put that in along with a new clutch. i already have 2 1/2 piping and i really wanted 3" but im gonna be running really low boost for the first few months, so i've already gotten over that. sometime this week im gonna replace all my belts and water pump. my oil pan has a slight dent in it, so i'm lookin for a used one (d16 oil pan FS anyone?) to replace it. i already have an oil pressure gauge and a boost gauge coming in. turbo timer not necessary yet cuz i wanna cut down on costs and i warm up and cool down my car for like 3-5 minutes even tho im N/A (been practicing for turb).

i'm gettin the greddy kit so it should be pretty complete in itself, and i'm already lookin for a 1G eclipse smic as we speak. am i missing anything? lemme know if i am. can't wait to get boosted
thanks

i know no one car argue this point, even if you do have the greddy blue box. an ic would be good also. I'm using the dsm smic.

inline fuel........................then you won't blow your motor.

 

I have one for ya! Oil pan from a 96 D16Y7, not sure if that's the same pan you need or not...

 

here's a few:
colder plugs
colder wires
boost gauge
run synthetic if you already don't
and get tuned.

 

Yes, colder wires.........DOH DOH DOH!

 

Hybrid, where'd you mount your DSM ic? I fit mine PERFECTLY in the passenger side fender well only cutting off one bracket and about an inch of the inlet. I'll try to get a pic, but I don't have a cam and you can barely see it through the small foglight hole in the bumper...
