k i checked out peteyd's thread on some of the stuff he was gettin with his stage 0 but i didn't know if all of it was absolutely necessary. i need the cheapest items that'll get the job done.....i dont think i need everything he included...? the kit's going on an auto....i know this is a big request but if someone would explain what exactly i'll need and nothing extraneous, i'd appreciate it....as far as the gauges go i love the blitz blm's, but i like how the zietronix zt-2 incorporates everything into one unit.....i really dont have much space for gauges....thanks in advance for any and all help.

 

follow up...would this unit cover what i'd need as far as gauges go? http://www.brockwayengineering.com/r920.html

 

bump!

 

I would think the kit is ready as is as long as you stay at 6psi. Maybe a boost guage and a/f guage but i think 6 psi is relatively safe

 

so would that brockway r920 thing cover both of those?

 

bump for some help...

 

plain and simple not trying to be mean but if ur gonna be cheap dont boost....i got an auto and i spent around 5200....

 

The kit comes with all the components needed. You will have some installation stuff that you will need to purchese.

Gauges are a pain but they can prevent a lot of heart ack. A boost gauge can pick up an installation error prior to a rod bearing if you catch my drift.

 

sweet man...boost that thing all the way baby, and all for under $3000...dont forget to get a sweet a$$ BOV to so everyone can hear that you have a turbo

 

tc_skier, so u don think boosting an auto is a waste of money? (coming from an auto owner that wans to boost too haha)

 

so for a stage one from zpi all we need is the kit, and the gauges, no aftermarket fuel computer or turbo timer, nothing, if this is the case screw the supercharger. lol

 

why would boosting an auto be a waste of time (im a 5-spd owner) yeah sure a boosted 5 spd will still win in a flat out fair race, but you will be faster than alot of other things, i just dont know about the dependability of your transmission, not saying there bad at all, i just dont know the reliability.

 

You dont NEED computer with stage zero. If you wanna upgrade down the road you'd need it but they say it runs fine with the stock ecu and preset boost.
Raising the boost later and injector upgrades will require it. Turbo timer is nice to have but not necessary.

 

soif we go above 6psi, we have to get all that other stuff right?

 

well i was thinking of getting the safc ii when i got the turbo just cause i dont like the idea of not having anything, would the safc ii work okay if all i wanted to do was monitor, and maybe tune better, or do i need something more extensive? thanks for your help im a fi newb. lol

 

i think you would need a a/f comp of some sort, as well as injectors and maybe a fuel presure reg, but like i said im a newb at this im trying to learn like you, sorry by the way, im not trying to jack your thred, ive just have the same questions as you. lol.

 

Why did you just put a MMW header/s-pipe and injen CAI if you're planning on ordering a turbo kit?

 

lol i have a megan header s pipe and injen cold air, lol i wasn't planning on going fi, but i really have the need for speed, and that dang zpi turbo keeps calling my name.[/quote]

 

i know u were talkn to him, i just thought it was ironic because we both have all these bolt ons that we cant use.

 

Yes, if you plan to boost higher than the stage zero 6psi setting, then you need the injectors, management, etc..

Stage 0 is a COMPLETE kit meaning nothin else needed :P
