I see. I'll try to find a kit that comes with those... Any thread recommendations for me as far as learning about turbo kit usage.

Just read through the forums for a while and don't be lazy about it. Kits don't come with those.

1. You don't need a boost controller.
2. A gauge is recommended, and you can find them cheap.
3. Pan can be welded, but sometimes they are offered with a kit. JDL and SBD both offer them for a charge.
4. If you need to port the wastegate on a complete kit, the kit isn't built right.

:thanks:

thanks again yall, time to get studying !

if anyone has any other input please post here, I always appreciate advice

If maintenance is ever a concern for anyone then please buy a Telsa and get out of the internal combustion scene. In fact stay away from anything with too many moving parts that wear and need maintenance in all aspects of life such as humans, freeways, airplanes, home ownership or anything with an existence that goes against entropy. lol

Ive heard really good things about HRI.

Unfortunately i live out in NorCal and we dont have many tuners out here who specialize in the 86 platform. Delicious Tuning is super common up here as is OFT for the SBD kit.

Theres always Snail Performance but those guys specialize in the EcoBoost platform.
