from what i gathered from my thread on this subject i know you need injectors, and fuel pump. also since you are so much higher then stock power with this brakes may wanted to be looked into also (pad or rotors, not big brake kit)

catch can, turbo timer, boost gauge, radiator, and oil cooler may be optional

Pretty much spot on by lbroskee. Stage 1, not much supporting mods (catch can would be really nice).

Stage 2 you need to start looking at clutch, exhaust, motor mounts in the long run, gauges, depending if you intend to track the car oil cooler.

Stage 2+ ads to stage 2 fuel pump, injectors, manual or electronic boost controller, among other things I can't think right now.

The car feels so awesome and still haven't gone past half throttle.... I can]t imagine what it will be when flooring it!!

Do you guys want to see the video even though its God Awful? At least the exhaust sounds good, but the video is all shaky "Blair Witch Project" type.

I was holding the cellphone and steering wheel with one hand.

Watch it in 1080p so numbers are clearer.

You can hear the BOV.

Disclaimer, you might get dizzy with the shaking....

Hahaha! It is the Failsafe gauge that has the alarm going off all the time.. LOLOLOL I need to tweak it, but have been unable to because AFR goes up and down like crazy when on/off throttle and the upper alarm limit max is 18.5 and minimum 8 so its constantly blinking, its supposed to be red/white but yeah the fun makes it look funny.

Me too. Can't wait to see your dynos, I need to get back on the dyno too.

Nice install!!
Thanks!! Still have two minor issues to adjust, tighten the turbo oil fittings and need to move one of the inlet pipes away from the engine. BUT I just can't be happier. What a BEAST, the boost comes so extremely quick!!

Would love to see a plot of Boost versus RPM from your failsafe gauge when you get it done. I just open the CSV in Excel and make graphs. You can also modify the CSV file slightly to get it to open in EcuTek.

I hooked up the RPM cable last night finally, so as soon as I step on it, I will pull the log.
