im getting ready to buy my turbo kit within teh next few weeks n ive been lookin around alot to find the best buy but im confused on one thing...the kit im lookin at is from drag(by the way, have any of you had good/bad experiences with them or heard about tehm???)
http://turbo-kits.com/integra_turbo_kits.html
its teh kit at the very bottom with the t3/04e turbo, but will the 12:1 fmu be able to support teh engine or will i still need to buy an entirely new ecu?? and i noticed it doesnt come with new injectors either so ive decided to upgrade them as well but should i go with 440 cc or 550 cc injectors..i will be runing 10-12 psi..and i cant decide if i need to upgrade to the 38mm trial wg for teh xtra 150, wat do u think??


also, is there anytihng else i will need to get to make this kit run right on my car...(1997 integra ls)

thanks for any imput

You can use the FMU to ensure you get more fuel, but it's certianly not the best choice. All it does is block your fuel return line, and puts that fuel into your engine as well. It's definently not the most reliable way to go. If you're serious about running 10-12 psi, then you will need a real engine management system; hondata, uberdata, crome, etc. And then get it dyno tuned by a pro.

Drag makes really good kits. I know a few people who are using them (on an h22a, b16, b18c1). I have no personal experience with the turbonetics wastegates, but I know quite a few people who have been boosting for years and say to stay away from them. You might want to check out this place: http://www.dragkits.com/ They sell the kits with the tial wastegate included for $2,750 shipped. Though, just for reference Drags official site is dragturbokits.com
