Default turbo install, what parts needed?

hey guys, im thinking about installing a custom turbo setup on my car, i need to know what all i need, the following parts are what i have, just need any suggestions of other things i might need. already got:

turbo manifolds
downpipe
extension pipe
intercooler piping
intercooler
gauges (boost, AFR)

i know i need the turbo, and the fuel pump. i dont think i need bigger injectors. but what else

as far as turbo, im looking at the garrett gt35r, 37, and 40. what would be the best for a 3.5L V6, wanting to push around 375-400 hp.

FPR?
fuel/timing solution. whats a good one?

thanks guys.

Hahahahaha

I was gonna say the same thing. My advice from someone who recently bolted a kit on...if you dont know what parts you need, dont bolt a turbo on your car. At minimum you should know what parts you need. And dont ask for help without at LEASt listing your car info. V6 aint helping. no one can recommend tuning/fuel/timing info without info. Id there aftermarket setups for your car. We dont know that ****......SEARCH man

ok let me explain a little better, i have a g35 coupe , that i currently have a vortech supercharger installed on ( that i installed ), i have a chance to get a custom single turbo setup for a good price.

ill be getting both manifolds, with a joining extension in between both banks, then from the turbo ( that doesnt come with the kit ), there is downpipe, intercooler piping, etc.. intercooler,

my existing sc setup i have an fmu and acc fuel pump, and a piggyback ecu, controlling all my fuel/timing aspects, i hope to use the same fuel setup, so no Cramerox, i wont need bigger injectors, ill be running maybe a little more boost than im running now, my factory injectors are overkill already, so thats that.

im gonna buy a turbo with an internal wastegate, theres that.

BOV- sure, i expected that. nuts, bolts, that bullshit, sure,

and ive got a full dual exhaust, no cats,

any other bright ideas. boost controller yeah, egt yeah.

I typed in "things that i might need for a turbo setup" in the search section, and the reply i got was " yeah right, whatever!". so searching dont do sheeeattt!

the whole turbo kit are nuts and bolts. You have a nice car so better protect it with a good fuel mgmt system. You have come on a honda specialty board so most of the responses you will get will be general to most turbo car and not specific to your make car.

Please clear this up with me- if you were running a FMU, which is a mechanical way of adding more fuel to your engine, what was the piggy back computer for?
You are correct, you will not need bigger injectors if you stay with the FMU set up, but i highly doubt that your injectors will be over kill once you boost and use a differnt EMS. BTW what is the flow rate of your stock Injectors?

I dont know what other fuel mgmt systems are available for your car? apex? AEM EMS, Greddy Blue Box?

Side note- what does your car run? a MAP system? or MAF? this could also limit your choices with some EMS.

The vortech system comes with a piggyback ecu made by Split Second, it also comes with a vortech FMU, and an accesory fuel pump, i have my laptop computer hooked to the split second box, and using the R4 software, (split second fuel/timing software), i can pull/add timing and pull/add fuel, and so other stuff.

The stock injectors flow right at 300cc ~ 3bar, as tested by technosquare. shouldnt that be enough?

I think the only other mgmt units for my car is the greddy emanage.

and yeah the car has a MAF sensor, i am worried about it going into limp mode under higher boost.
