1. Boost Gauge & Sensor
2. Fuel Pressure Gauge & Sensor
3. Super 16G Turbocharger w/ 8-10 psi internal wastegate & Manifold
4. Custom Downpipe
5. Oil Feed kit
6. Oil Return kit
7. 2.25” Charge Piping & Clamps
8. Blow Off Valve
9. Champion SRT-4 plugs
10. Walbro Fuel Pump
11. Adjustable Fuel Management Unit – GM Reflash
12. GM 310cc Injectors
13. Motor Mounts
14. Intercooler
15. TMAP (Temperature/Manifold Absolute Pressure) Sensor Part # 90423637
16. Connector complete with wiring Part # 88988320

· How far do I gap the plugs?
Would any Blow off Valve work?

your going to want a couple other things besides that. a oil restrictor, wideband gauge, also you would be better off with 2.5 inch charge pipes, and probably bigger injectors cause i think your going to lean the 310s out with that much boost or be close to leaning them out

boost will be soon for me....

that depends on his oil feed setup.

I always love to hear people's reasoning behind this one. If your turbo outlet is 2-2.25" (like I believe his will be, and most are), why would you want to use bigger piping?

310cc injectors only flow 310cc at onepressure...so maybe he will be running 440cc injectors, nobody knows. Also, he didn't list any way to turn down bigger injectors at idle, so anything larger than the GMSC injectors would probably just flood his engine at idle.

Do I really need a wideband gauge? I don't plan on doing any tuning by myself, and that's what I thought it was good for.

It helps you set your base idle, it will tell you if your setup is adequate for your boost needs, it helps you keep an eye on your fuel and is usually the first thing that will let you know when you have almost any kind of problem. Save a little dinero and grab one.


Boosted Eco @9psi for now....WRX come spring.....

Do you need a gas gauge?

I mean if you track your mileage then its pointless.... right?

Basically... if you wanna turbo the car and do it right and watch what its doing a Wideband is very very necessary.
