Pyro is definately the most important. We've got some specials up in our section. Or give us a ring, we can help you out.

yeah as long as you dont mess with your waste gate you'll be fine for now because you shouldnt be making that much boost

depends what you run for a plate...

If you go crazy with the fuel its pretty easy to overcome the wastegate and overspeed the turbo. Ill have to say, a boost gauge would be nice, but pyro is a definate.

With a few clicks on my starwheel and a 100 plate i had no issues overspeeding my turbo, its even worse now, but i plan on building some twins as soon as i can find a new hairdrier.

Hey man get them on here from a vendor. I know you can get them CHEAP! get a 60lb boost and pyro if ya can. As for hooking them up. If you can use a drill you can install them.
