That kit does come with everything needed. I'm not very familiar with it but it looks decent. The VAFC Hack basically allows you to throw bigger injectors on your car without having an fmu. The VAFC allows you to controll those injectors rathing than having the fmu controll the fuel. Works great for me . What you'll need is a VAFC, DSM 450 CC or some 440CC injectors and a resistor box from an 88-91 honda. Also, for gauges, Autometer are fine. People say that they aren't accurate but I say they work just as well as Greddy/Defi. People have their own opinions so whatever. Have fun with it. I know at 5.5 psi I'm having fun and waiting to boost more :-P
