like they said dont go to racing zone, they sell some good stuff but for advice on what to buy go to forced induction forum with the question and when vapor (john) responds listen real close. vapor and the guys at secret services know their shit.

Don't waste money on a piggy back fmu and controller, BUY HONDATA and get the gm 3 bar map sensor, that way you skip the missing link and you have a lot of goodies with hondata.

don't pay someone to put together the kit for you do it yourself, what do they care if your shit blows up cause its not pieced together right. As long as you ask plenty of ?'s no matter how stupid, you will learn alot, have what you want, and when problems arise later you will have a better idea as to what it is.

Go to ebay, I have saved alot of money buying ( new not just used ) from there.

here's a list of what you should have to make it the right way.

Turbo (DUH)
Intercooler ( go to secret services for piping, it's custom and well priced)
oil feed and drain lines
wastegate
downpipe ( also connect the wastegate outlet to your downpipe to help avoid drawing attention from the fuzz)
manifold
fuel pressure regulator ( boost variable, I'd go with AEM)
fuel rail ( not needed until above 400hp, but matches the regulator for looks )
450cc injectors or bigger ( 450cc should take you to about 300-350 hp )
fuel pump walbro 255lph high pressure
egt guage
fuel pressure guage
oil pressure guage
boost guage
water temp guage
oil temp guage
turbo timer
boost controller ( I prefer the blitz sbc id with the power meter)
hondata
gm 3 bar map sensor
blow off valve
stage 2 or better clutch ( if you expect to make over 240 hp )
upgraded axles ( when you hit 300 hp or 250hp if your doing hard launches)
upgrade tranny ( above 300hp )

that should about do it I may have missed a small item or 2

if your looking to just run fast on the street then 250-280 hp should be good. once you hve it all take it to ss to have it installed and tuned, they are dealers for hondata so they can get it all set up.

I currently have about $2500 left to go ( the biggest chunk is $800 for the hondata and map sensor but that's the highest level I can getm also $650 fo the sbc id and powermeter. if you go with the lower level hondata and a simple sbc you can save 300-500 more, just remember you get what you pay for, use cheap shit and your engine will become cheap shit )and have spent about $1500.

I know alot of people run hondata,but there has been alot more advancments in computers since then.Ever heard of plug and play(AEM).Hondata is old.Your car looks nice but I think you might want to look in the back of it.Someone put an extra 2 mufflers back there.You need an open downpipe.
