Let's see, you are going to need:

Downpipe
Blow Off Valve
Wastegate (if it's not an internal wastegate)

And also some lines for the oil to drain from the turbo, as well as a hole in the oil pan for it to drain into. &nbsp;That's all you really need, but it's a good idea to get (as in if you want to run more than 5psi, you should get, otherwise the life of your engine will probably be severely reduced):

Boost Controller
Boost Gauge
Oil pressure gauge
Turbo Timer
Fuel Pump
Injectors
Intercooler and piping

What you're really going to need is to do a frickin search on Zilvia, or at least open the damn tech talk page! &nbsp;I have replied to 2 messages, that as of last night, we on the front page!
Seriously. &nbsp;You will need half a brain to do the install, so you might wanna get a few of your buddies to add their portion into the collective half.
Then you need to get the book "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell, and read that so you know what you're talking about when you make posts in the CHAT section about technical matters.
Or you could listen to Dr.DubbleB, and add intake piping and a reprogrammed ECU to that list, or knock off the intercooler, fuel pump, injectors, and boost controller for a bare-bones system.
Then you should get a turbo rebuild kit for the free turbo. &nbsp;And a manifold is $400ish, turbo timer and harness is $125, Piping is $130, gauges and pods are $200.
Ka-T auto is a lot slower than a KA-T 5-speed, but still fast enough for my DET to take any automatic musclecar(GT's, z28's) and any Import I've run across with a manual.
Seriously... do your research.

Alan didn't write that, I did, over at his house. &nbsp;So if you need to get upset at someone flaming you, I did it.
Don't hate Rampid, cuz he is outside painting a car.
It was all me!
