done on my Si real soon. I need some help from you all. My starting point is ~7psi daily and ~10psi on the track.

1. What's the difference between a T3/T4 and T3/T04E or T3/T04B? Is it size?

2. What should I do for fuel management?

3. What type of wastegate should I be looking into? I heard TurboSmart is pretty decent, but I don't know anyone that's used them.

4. Steel vs. Iron manifolds. Why would one be better than the other?

5. Boost controller. Any suggestions?

6. Intercoolers. Name brand vs. custom. Any reason to pay more for name brand?

That's all I can think of now. Toss in any other advice you might have.

1) Like boosted said..... E housing
2) How far do you want to go? AEM EMS is probably the best if you can afford it. Hondatas are okay. I'm using the AFC "hack" with DSM450cc injectors. It's okay but I can only push 11 psi before the MIL trips. FMU sucks, in my opinion anyway.
3) Tial 35mm. Good brand and size
4) a few reasons of design: heat retention, smoothness of flow, cost, distance of exhaust gas travel (length of piping), etc...
5) GReddy Profec-B is the most user friendly out there. Or get the APEXi AVC-R
6) Spearco, Blitz, GReddy are great brands.
