ok, im looking into buying the stage 2 star performance kit, and keepin boost at bout 5psi so i dont have to worry bout my bottom end right now. now, the kit says it comes with:

-cast manifold
-turbotonics t3/t4B turbo
-turbotonic delta wastegate
-2.5" Downpipe
-in-tank fuel pump
-12:1 boost-indexed fuel pressure regulator
-intake pipe
-air filter
-chrome intake pipe
-chrome intercooler plumbing
-FMI
-HKS By-pass valve

now, ill need new fuel injectors right? im not sure bout what size though? and since it comes with a fuel pump, i dont need to get another one, correct? but i do need a new oil pump i assume? and if so, what are some good 1s to choose from? and the last thing i was wondering, do i need a BOV if it comes with a wastegate? id like to have the BOV anywayz if not. thanks for everyone's help :cool: :dsm:
 
(1)you will not need new fuel injectors if you keep the boost where the kit is preset at. (2) no you don't need a new fuel pump- the one that comes with the kit will work fine for a while-bolt up the kit as is and drive to get the kinks out of it then you can play around with different aspects such as boost level and injector size (3)if you have any problem with oil pressure then yes or if it's been awhile since a timing belt was put on then do the belt kit .the timing belt idlers are known to have the bearings go bad in them and do a oil pump at the sametime (4)the star stage II comes with a wastegate and bov and you will need both to keep your motor and turbo safe.......

thanks for the feedback, thats what i was kinda assuming, just wasnt to sure... my timing belt is fairly new, maybe 6 months on it, had it replaced while on a camping trip, came back, driving to football practice, and the engine shuts down, pop the hood, and the see the timing belt cover exploded, the belt shredded, so, had head rebuilt, and another timing belt, running good since, cept for the small oil leak i have :thumbdown that will be fixed soon :thumb:
 
yeah I know how that feels 2 days after I bought mine the timing belt went... but what doesn't kill them only makes them stronger :D I ordered a star turbo stage II two weeks ago so it should be here anyday now :thumb:

I loved the star kit, when I got mine and installed it the 1st time that 5-9psi feels like you have 500hp.(I Know it dont I SAID IT FEELS LIKE :p )...Thats how I felt....Thats what the emotion was like.....I...I.Cried I was so happy :D
