thermalfi makes some good points, but keep in mind that I have experience with running a Greddy TD04H kit on a higher mileage car and it spelled trouble, even at the stock setting of 5.5psi. I will say again and I can't stress it enough, if your motor has higher mileage upgrade everything you can before installing a turbo. You'll be sorry if you don't. Trust me, a month after installing my turbo my car started to blow smoke.
Cracked pistons
fried rings
blown head gasket
Replacing the stuff before hand will save you time in the long run. Also could save you money. Who knows what else could be broken. Make sure your car is in perfect working order. Do a leak down test on the cylinders, check valves, valve adjustment, fuel system, clean injectors, tune up, etc.. Do everything you can to prevent what happened to me from happening to you. You have already spent 2k on the turbo kit, throw another 1k out there to make your engine bulletproof.
