...yes I'm a turbo noob.. but I've been reading and searching for about 3 months now, saving my $$ at the same time and I finally decided to go turbo piece by piece...

*the reason I'm still a noob is because my English isn't good enough to understand(same with reading too ) when ppl explain or when I read about turbos, etc, etc...

Bottom line: I still need help..

So, before I do anything stupid, I have some questions(final decision to go turbo):

-what turbo is good for street? T3? T3/T4? what size?
(I'm only gonna set it around 5~7psi for daily driving 'til I build my block)

-I already have VAFC and GSR fuel pump.. do I still need an FMU? 'cause some say yes, some say no...

-with VAFC, can I just replace my stock injectors with a DSM 450's(for more boost in future) without any modifications?any wiring? (I'm terrible with wires.. )
or what dsm injectors just plug in?

-how reliable is turbo itself? I know using a turbo timer can save some life of a turbo... but even then, how reliable?

...and that's all I can think of for now... sorry about too many Q's.. Thanks in advance!!

PS. if you're not gonna help, don't post... and don't tell me not to go turbo 'cause I don't know much about it... Trying it out is the only way I can LEARN about these goodies... I'm willing to spend all my hard-earned money even if I screw up... so DO NOT post if you're gonna help...

Best advice i can give you even though you are only running 5-7 lbs is hondata. Turbo size if you are going to build probaly a t3/t04e. It will give you plenty HP at that boost setting. I ran a smaller t3/t4 and still made 244 at 8lbs. This was on hondata though. Tuning is very key in having a fun reliable(SP) car.

OT but there aren't much tuners in toronto either, so be prepard to drive your untuned car FAR to be tuned.

Ya you can use the 450cc injectors with the VAFC... You probably don't want to go over 10psi with this setup though. You won't need a FMU with this setup.
