Default sohc turbo. finally got it!!! need help with setup

I have a drag 1 turbo kit for my z6 but I dont want to install it until I have everything I need to run it. It has everything, mani, dp, waste gate, bov, fmic, and fmu. Now I dont have a boost gauge yet and would like to know what gauges are more important for turbo use. air to fuel, oil pressure, egt, or what not.

Also I have a rebuilt motor for this, should I break it in first N/A then put the turbo on, or do it all at once and remove the wastegate spring?
i almost forgot. Do i need bigger injectors and fuel pump right away?

oil pressure, boost, egt

air/fuel is a waste since you dont have a wideband o2, so the readings arent accurate at all. good luck

If it came with an FMU it should be fine using stock injectors. FMU is not ideal but it will work.

i would upgrade my fuel pump and injectors if it was me. Also you should be fine installing it all at once if you take it easy like a normal break in.

Who are you getting to install it? I'm from Richmond too.

I just bumped up to a Walbro 190lhr fuel pump and I run just fine.

I am going to install it myself.
The fmu is temporary until I can afford hondata, but it will work for 7.5 psi. Anything after that will need better tuning.

Am I right? i should have nothing to worry about if I leave it at 7.5 lbs
