LIKE (hello...vally girl) a EGT w/probe, A/F gauge from corbin, electrical Oil pressure, and electrical fuel pressure if got the extra $$$ and time to install.
I would definitely look into a new regulator if HRC hasn't remedy problem.

I needed extra vacuum lines (but I have a star system) you might want to buy like 10feet for bov, boost gauge, westgate, etc. you you will need an oil sensor socket, ohh and a new exhaust.. hehe.

i dont mean to be an ass but is it really safe to boost your car if you've only had your license for a week or less? im not saying you cant drive, but you may wanna consider getting some experience first

Well, if a person has some understanding of how the kit works, then I don't see it being a problem. If a person just got the car, have very little knowledge of how the kit and the engine works, then just blindly slap a kit in there, then that person is walking on thin ice. KNOWLEDGE is power; just slapping a kit in there, and automatically figure that everything will work out fine is asking for it. Good luck soldier101, this isn't directed towards you or anything!!!!!!

cut him some slack, if he's got the cash, and apparently he does since he's got a tight car at 16, and wants to buy a turbo kit, let him. He's been on this board long enough to read all your guy's troubleshooting, and it wouldn't be hard for him to get help somewhere.

it's cool rfpunch, I've only been driving alone a week, but I know everything inside and out in my car...the turbo is being put on hold till summer (parents) so right now I'm going full interior exterior and basic bolt ons like exhaust, CAI

rfpunch, i'm not trying to rag on you but i know how it is. i'm 17 and could drive jus as good as i can now when i was 16. and i'm not the type that gets a friend in the car and starts to peel out and go fast and sheet. i just turn my music up :). I agree, you need to be mature enough to handle the responsibilities of driving safely, and having a turbo doesn't help the temptation to drive as fast as your car can go. let alone a fast 99. Today i was at baseball practice, and i let a friend drive around my bro's car, and he had a brother in it with him. he just wanted to check it out, cuz its a pos, but he wanted to just drive it. so he goes in a small circle in this parkinglot/dirt area, and then he gets out. i'm across the street, then someone tells me that his brother is drving my car. i never said he could, he doesn't have a liscense, and i don't like the kid anyhow. so i look and he's over there doing cookies and shit, and the cair ain't even mine, and so i go over there, his brother which is my age tells him to get the f out, and i'm like get the hell out of my car you moron, i'm about to kick your ass! so i pull him out of my car and he's all grinnin like a immature fool. later he apologizes, but i'm sure its so he can tell his mom that later. -Peace

what does age have to do with driving fast?? Im 20 and drive just as fast as I do when I was 16. Is that a problem for some people? Yea, maybe the cops but other than that...I would also like to say Im one of the safest drivers on here. Ive been in 9 accidents. NONE MY FAULT, I was t-boned, and hit in the ass 7 times. I havent been in an accident with my new eclipse and dont plan on it but shit, who cares how old someone is? I once met a Civic owner (SI with Greddy turbo) that didnt know a GOD DAMN THING about his car. He didnt even know how much boost he was running, I had to tell him. He was well into his 20's. Another friend is around 28 and has a GS-T. Knows how to make it fast but NOTHING of installing anything himself. He actually paid $100 to have a damn MBC installed. LOL?
