Default Traded for turbo kit minus manifold

OK i traded a AEM wideband for a turbo kit if you wanna call it that it is a XS turbo A/R .42 with shaft play. XS Wastegate with 10pd spring,piping(getting my own made) down pipe and blow valve. also has a intercooler.

My question is what should i do about the turbo and wastegate are they good or should i replace also this will eventualy be going into my 90 hatch not sure on the motor yet.

Also what oil lines fitting etc do i need

was it your only wideband? you are still gonna need it.

with the money you will spend making the kit remotely reliable, you could have sourced a better setup.

seek answers in the faq's at the top of this forum.

Recommendations on a turbo and wastegate that are decently priced and a site to order from.

Wait! So you traded your AEM wideband for basically a downpipe, bov, and intercooler? WOW. I doubt you'll be able to use that downpipe with another manifold unless you get the one it came with.

Look in the classifieds here and start looking for brand name parts.
