Any turbo products from SSAutochrome are pieces of shit. Do not be fooled! Good thing that you asked this question.

Piecing as kit together does not necessarily mean cheaper. Especially if you want a decent set-up.

You are safe to boost to as high as 8 psi on stock motor, but always always always ........... remember that tuning is the key. There is no other way around it in order to have the safest set-up possible. This is a great thing cuz a "tuned" set-up means optimum HP for that boost setting.

Since tuning is the "key", I highly recommend to get a tunable fuel management system, preferably electronic:

-Uberdata= Free software. Uses a modified chip. Base map and pre-programmed map are available online.... just do a search.

-Hondata= is like Uberdata but not free. More reliable than Uberdata. Depending on what version you get, it allows data logging and la top compatibility.

-AEM EMS= is one of the best. It is a "stand alone" system which means completely replaces the stock ECU. Tech support is great. Base map is available for free. Plug and Play. Lap top ready.

-What not to get--------> FMU.
An FMU is a mechanical fuel pressure regulator that is "boost dependent". It only adds fuel, shit tons of fuel, when boosted. Not a very reliable system at all. You will get an FMU if you buy a Drag or REVHARD kit.

I recommend at least a set 440cc injectors but only get it if you get an electronic fuel management system.

You have some decent initial mods there. Some of those that you have will be replaced by turbo components. Remember one more thing, when it comes to piecing together a kit, brand names do matter. Stick with a reputable one and avoid "short cuts".

Goodluck!
