Before this is locked... Search again. Compression #'s depend on your location and generally be close to each other. Sell everything you have, and buy a kit from either a member here or from Hahn. I've built a few other set-ups and you just don't seem to have the pre-hand knowlege to build something yet.

Edit: just PM me and be more specific with your goals and actual set-up. Please search though there is about 4 years of crash and burn set-ups that everyone has learned from.

Ya there is a write up, in the SEARCH section! You didnt search enough...

Yes your missing stuff, you would have found out everything you need by using the SEARCH button!

First off, a manifold from a turbo car (im guessing your talking about a 4g63) will NOT work. Well it could, but I doubt you wanna try to make it work.

Ok good, you didnt forget about replacing the fule pump :)

You will need an FCD or ML

SFMU or FPR

and lastly, the mouse on your computer to click the SEARCH button.

Ya, so, I am a dick.
