look at whatelse comes with the trd kit (hopefully it is for the right year with your tc), you need bigger injectors, colder thermostat, colder spark plugs, ecu reflash etc.

there is no such thing as "aem f/ic emanage"

its aem f/ic OR emanage.

also, turbo timer seems unnecessary. oil temp gauge...i guess if you have money to burn go ahead.
if it were me, I'd go mmw/weapon r header over megan.

if you are going straight to 12 psi monitor afr, esp with your cai. you may need your "aem f/ic emanage" sooner than you think.

First make sure what year it is and if it will work with your car. Jetlounge knows a lot about this kind of stuff. And I do agree with him on the MMW header. I dont know why you would want a by pass valve on a supercharger. And if you want to run 12 psi you will need to get than engine management re-tuned for your vehicle. I would recommend getting the TRD re-flash and running a 9.5 pulley and get the essentials first.

it sounds like you just bought it to buy it... there are a lot of threads about S/Cs...

since you're buying it used you will not get the ECU reflash, which means your F/IC or emanage (whichever it is) should have a base map before you do the install, since a self-install of the S/C without even the TRD reflash can mess up your engine

since youre getting the 12PSI pulley im guessing its an '05-'06 since the '07+ are hard to change the pulleys on... and as stated above i hope you got the correct kit for your transmission.

if i were you id take some time to read the threads people have put up regarding S/C installs, problems, noises, etc etc... it will help you avoid flaming for asking questions people have already answered

what the hell are you saying lol? why he would need a bypass valve? where else is the spare boost gonna go? it needs the bypass valvew to go back into the intake! you cant just put a blow off and call it a day.

yes he needs an aftermarket bpv. the stocker is barely worth the 7psi for which it's rated.
not so much for the "spare", but more to hold the extra boost that he wants to make...otherwise it all gets recirc'ed.

Ya for a second I was thinking of something totally different. I thought he wanted an atmospheric blow off valve.
