id be careful for anything that requires much modification (to the kit) to install unless you have a good bit of experience with f/i and a good general mechnical knowledge of the vehicle and some decent mechanical skills, as for the tranny mines been holding up pretty well Just make sure to get a nice tranny cooler

a little power with the lack of know-how...could kill your engine. Read up a little and search through the forum in the forced induction section and read up. wikipedia can also be your friend, and also the guys from dezod will probably help with a lot of stuff...

stay small and conservative...
Most importantly do your howework.
Many manufacturers(including myself) offer turbo kits for autos.
Questions:
1. Fuel management system:
As you are forcing additional air into your motor you need to add (control) fuel and ignition. Your factory ecu is not able to handle these tasks.
The fuel management system (Greddy Emanage or AEM FIC) are devices that allow you to control the ability to add more fuel and change your ignition.
2. Injector-
A device that provides fuel to your motor. It receives a signal from your ecu(computer) that tells it when to open and close. As it opens it provides fuel into the cylinder.
3. ECU- Engine Control Unit :
In our cars it has allot of responsibilities..but to keep it simple:
Provides all the information to make your car run.....
tells the injectors when to open to add fuel.
tells the ignition coils when to spark to make that fuel combust to make the motor turn.
Hope that helps.
Be nice guys....I kept it plain and simple.
Regards-
Todd
