just buy a complete turbo kit.

otherwise look around and research a little.

you can make DSM injectors work on our cars for less money than new ones, but that is way way down the road for you.

first get some fuel management, upgraded clutch and fly, vtec controller, ignition............ then look into getting a turbo.

p.s. headers have absolutely nothing to do with a turbo.

I have no oil cooler.

The only thing you "need" for the FMAX kit is the $3600 or so to buy it.

It comes with everything to run it. Some, like me, dont care for the fuel management.

I would save $300 or so and tune the kit once you get it. Dont waste it on mods for the turbo....I shouldnt have.
