Sup x-bird. Know that the greddy blue box is good up to 8lbs of boost. at that much boost you'll definitely wanna get an intercooler. I plan to get the type 21v intercooler or even the type31 but im afraid that for this little turbo it just might be too big and might hurt the performance. Also don't forget to upgrade your ignition. And for the fuel part i recommend that you just upgrade your fuel pump. If you only plan to boost 8lbs for now the new 255hl holly pump and the blue box will handle the fuel part.
ALso if you worried that your car may be too old and the turbo may put too much stress on your motor just know that when the turbo is installed you will not be boosting all the time as long as you drive conservatively. I can go all the way up to 80+ miles an hour without boosting a pound. Which means that the car is runnin as if stock. So, as long as you know your limits and know when to boost you'll not have any problems with your motor. HOwever, i did blow my headgasket and i been driving around like this for like 4 months now. It still runs hard but i know that it will die on me soon. I think the only reason why my headgasket blew was becuz i drove 300+ plus miles averaging around 110-130mph non stop. So i guess that was my bad. Also if you have extra money laying around invest yourself in a bigger radiator. For example maybe an integra radiator or if you can buy the Fluedyine radiator. Not only does it look dope in your engine bay but you'll never have to worry about over heating. I did experience some heating problems when i had my turbo installed by REdline WAtter WEtter took care of that problem. But most definetely im getting a fluedyne as soon as i get my financial aid check.
