6.All those neccessary pipes
7.boost meter, A/F meter,Oil Prssure meter, EGT meter

8.Apexi AVC-R to control the boost

i plan to run the system at 7-10psi but i know the oem
Nissan turbo ie giving out more than that..
maybe it's at 13psi or so..
then can i use the AVC-R to lower it?

thanks guys

1) T28 is fine but you may suffer some lag. Look into a T3
2)
3) Make your own. Go to my website
4) Get a 12:1 disc
5)MSD 6BTM is my recommendation. It's ability to retard boost is simply helpful when it comes to tuning your timing
6)
7) Add a fuel pressure gauge
8) AVC-R can get really complicated. GReddy profecB is the most user-friendly of all

Boost controllers will only raise boost from the initial wastegate set-point. So, if your wastegate is set at 13, the boost controller is useless unless you lower that initial spring/diaphragm tension. On internal wastegate, it could be a painful task. On exteranl wastegate, all you have to do is change the spring tension.
