these are the basic "gotta have" that did not come with the GReddy kit. keep in mind that these items are recommended while boosting at stock 5.5 psi:
-BOV
-boost gauge
-a/f ratio or EGT gauge
-turbo timer
EXPLANATION:
-BOV= to allow less lag, which is next to nothing on this kit anyway, BUT will prevent a compressor surge (back spin). it will lengthen the life span of your turbo by preventing it from getting spanked every time you let off on the throttle OR between shifting.
-Boost gauge= to monitor the boost level and to ensure that the wastegate is not malfunctioning. boost creep can cause catastrophic damage to your engine.
-A/F ratio or EGT gauge= same thing. it monitors the efficiency of your set-up and will show indication of an engine needing more fuel while at boost. the EGT gauge is more of a tuning device. it actually works better than the A/F ratio gauge since these gauges actually requires a wide band O2 analyzer to get a more acurate reading. a wide band O2 analyzer can cost between $400-700..... to me it's not really worth it. a turboed car is preferred to run "rich". leaning it will cause detonation.
-Turbo Timer= is a definite must have on every turboed car, IMO. a 1 minute countdown is plenty to allow the turbo to cool down. without a turbo timer, the turbo will eventually seize due to "caking or coking" of the oil. when the engine is shutdown without proper cooling, the hot oil remains inside the oil line and the turbo bearing/shafting. instead of the oil getting flushed back to the oil pan, the hot oil remains in the turbo oil system. a hot oil that is stationary will tend to solidify or gummy.
the GReddy 92-95 TD04h-15g is designed as a straight forward "bolt on". if boost is maintained at 5.5 psi, you really wont need an upgrade on the fuel system EVENTHOUGH, your set up will run safer and better with upgrades. same story goes with the clutch.
i do recommend these other items:
-high flow cat
-a minimum of 2.25 free flow exhaust pipe (cat back)
better exhaust flow will make your turbo respond better.
intercooling is not REQUIRED until you leave 5.5 psi. i suggest getting a type24 GReddy. the one i have is the type31. the piping sux!
