Default About to go turbo

Hey everybody my names Cliff ive been on this forum for a few months and read a ton of peoples posts and such. Anyway im about to turbo my a/t Tc 2006 with the pTuning kit for a/t and coupling that with there 3" exhaust im well aware that everybody thinks boosting an auto is dumb but its what i want.. Anyway heres my question besides the full kit, exhaust, gauges, transmission cooler, and spark plugs is there anything else i need to get that im some how overlooking? Im also doing a compression and a leak down test on monday so got that covered. Thanks everybody.

Sounds like you got it all covered. The fact that you are us Ptuning is good. They have great customer service and definitely know what they are talking about. They won't lead you astray.

yyea ive been reading up on ptuning for a couple months now and there like 7 hours away. I just got to decide if i want to take the drive there or get it down localy there a pretty good shop here. but they dont have any experence with Tc's. I just hope everything goes good on monday. also what kinda gauges best to use (full sweep electrical, digital, or mechanical) does it matter? i want the best cuz im well aware of the "gotta pay to play" motto.

since your auto, your going to want to run a relay to the ignition to the FIC power wire. otherwise it will drain your battery everytime you shut off the car. i just posted in another thread about the same thing. PM me for a wiring diagram. its very easy.

He asked If people are using Electrical or mechanical gauges. Not what certain gauges. He has that covered. BTW He dosent want oil temp, It oil pressure. I use Aem Digital gauges. They seem to work for me.
