turbo parts?

[seth00008]

i just bought a td04 turbo, with down pipe and a huge and i mean huge A## fromt mount and all the other piping. so i got most of the costly stuff out of the way, what else do i need to run 7 pounds of boost safely i dont want the thought of me blowing the engine going threw my head all the time.

Injectors, ECU tune, exhaust, piping, possibly a better airflow meter (MAP sensor although not every car will need it), fuel pump, colder spark plugs, and some high octane gas. There was another post about this same topic under Civic tech, so look there too.

Well if you do all of that you can run more than 7 lbs of boost but I wouldn't go nuts with it... I've seen Civics built and tuned right run up to 15 lbs a boost its all in how long you put in tuning and the parts you put into the engine.. I'm pretty sure you should be able to run about 9 lbs of boost on the mods that beater told ya.. If I were you I'd spend the time and build the engine internally that way you can run around 13 lbs of boost and your engine is strong enough to take it.. And you might want to get an intercooler if you don't have one (though that might be what you ment by front mount).

thats what i meant by front mount, and this is my dd so i cant build it internally thats why im not going for a crazy amount of boost, so all those parts are about $500.00 rougly or more to a thousand??

Between the $500 and $1000. I'd say about $700ish, but part of that depends on how much time (and money) you invest on tuning. You can run 7 pounds without any issue and you can push it to 9 psi if you have good tuning.

I should have also mentioned you will need a boost controller, fuel pressure regulator, water and oil temp gauges, and an a/f meter.
