so you dont need a intercooler for low boost applications? does it still require premium fuel?

Well it looks like i'll be going Turbo sooner then i thought, quite possibly late febuary or early march! Boozka_joe im going to be sending you some msg's about your turbo setup
To answer all you guys about the questions on costs, lets just say im going to be spending less then 2000.00 "I THINK" i have a little friend on the fourms helping me out. Once the turbo is complete i will give you all pictures and price costs.
I am also going to update you guys on what has been built/purchased so far.

I thought I mentioned in a previous post this is probably going to be custom built, so I'm not sure if its going the MSP route
Liitle Beavis is gonna hook me up, he's been through 2 custom turbo set-ups so he's got enough parts to make it happen as for the fuel setup I'm going to go the FMU/O2 set up for now and switch to a MPI later.
More to come!

It looks like i will be going over 300.00 for everything which will now bring my total from 1900.00 to 2200.00
just some advice, in addition to those three gauges you should get an air/fuel ratio gauge with a wideband o2 sensor. this is the only way to measure air/fuel accurately. and trust me it is a good idea to have, since if for any reason your FMU goes bad your car will go way lean under boost. boost + lean = bad. for example i have the BEGI FMU in my car, and recently its mounting bracket snapped causing it to be dangling freely in the engine bay. FMUs need to be situated upright for them to work, so basically this meant that my car had no fuel management. luckily my wideband warned me that i was going way lean in boost. so yea its a good idea.
