Default turbo setup HELP NEEDED

I own a 2nd gen teg, and I finally decided to go turbo, so I went out and purchased a garrett t3/t4 turbo, turbonetics wastegate, intercooler and bov(blitz). I know that I'll have to get the intercooler piping custom bent and probably the downpipe. This the problem I'm not sure of what the heck else I need. A friend told me something about a fmu, what the hell is that? what does it do? How important is it? I want to do this right, I'm a true believer that "if you try to step C without doing B first, you'll always end up back at A. I have a b18a w/ p73 pistons, stage 4 cams and and a reprogrammed ecu do I need to get rid of that stuff?

thanks

Search is your friend...an fmu is a fuel managment unit. Dont use one. ALl they do is jack up your fuel pressure. It sounds to me that you want to do it right the first time. For fuel managment spend the $$ on a AEM EMS or Hondata. You will want to in the future anyway so do it right the first time. You will need oil return lines, filter for the turbo, and alot of other little things that I am too lazy to mention. Just do a search on a custom kit and I am sure you will find what you need. Bigger injectors will be in order, along with motor work, etc, etc. Good luck
