Default help with my stock b18b boost project

I picked up a tuner turbo kit from go auto works have it all installed but i am stuck on a few things. This is what i have for my build so far:

B18b Rebuilt
Go auto works tuner kit
avid motor mounts
obd2 harness to convert to obd1
competiton stage 4 clutch
k&N turbo air filter
autometer boost and oil presure guages
picking up walbro pump and 650cc injectors


What else do i need besides getting my ecu chipped and a good tune?
Do i need a fuel managment system, different map sensor, fuel pressure regulator etc?

Any advice would be a great help.

If you plan on running more than 10psi you are going to need a different MAP sensor. I picked up a hondata 4 bar from phearable.net for around 100$. I personally wouldn't run a chipped ECU. Hondata S300 is what I'm using, I dont know if CROME allows for a different map sensor or not. I would also pick up a windeband so you have a good idea of where your A/F is.

chipped ecu w tune = fuel management. i would suggest getting that taken care of before driving the car.

Thanks for the replys and yes i would like to get a basemap just to make sure everything is in working order but will be trailering the car to the tuner anyways. Also another silly question the tial wastegate i have is a .4 bar is the best way to control my boost by getting a bigger spring and having one set boost setting?

.4 bar = 5.8 psi. if you want to boost more than that you need a bigger spring or a boost controller. the spring pressure is the minimum boost allowable

What exactly do you mean by rebuilt? We need more information about this particular motor "rebuild"

What about head studs? Are you running the stock bolts or arp's? You really need Arp head studs. 250hp is a perfectly attainable goal on stock internals with that turbo. Should take 8-10psi and a good tune but its very modest.. Just remember if.you go over 10psi you need a newer map sensor as stock won't read above 10-11

my preference is to control boost through hondata's boost by gear feature. essentially an electronic controller built into the tuning software.

alternatively, you could toss on a manual controller so you can quickly/cheaply increase the boost by a few psi. (turbosmart, blox, etc)
