I am new to the DSM experience but I have been reading a lot lately. I currently have a 95 gst that is pretty much stock except for the greddy evo cat back exhaust and the aftermarket filter. Here is a list of some of the things that are in the mail currently: EGT gauge, custom gauge pod, boost gauge, 3inch downpipe with test pipe, ported 02 housing, manual boost controller, fuel pressure regulator and last but not least a Garrett T4 T04B Turbo. (I got it for under $300 so I could just sell it and get a T-28 killer or something.)

I know that I dont have the accompanying mods to put the turbo on yet so Im thinking of putting everything else on for now. Maybe dialing in like 14psi boost. Im also looking to get an intake pipe and UIC pipe. Im also looking at getting the apexi super afc and a turbo timer. Im also trying to figure out which BOV to use. I like the RFL turbo XS unit but it doesnt vent back into the intake.

From what Ive been reading, to be able to support the turbo I would need a new fuel pump and FMIC and possibly the 550 injectors.

One last quick question, I am considering buying a FMIC from a guy that has all the piping to fit the 1G model, would this just bolt on to the 2G or would I need additional or different piping due to placement. For 200 bucks including the intercooler and all the hoses it sounds like a good deal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
 
Get the HKS SSQV, My cousin has it installed on his turbocharged civic and its working just fine + it has a very cool sound!
 
I think I just found out that I would need a new exhaust manifold and 02 housing and an external wastegate to be able to run the t4 on my car. I dont know if its worth the hassle.

By the way I do like the HKS sound. Just not sure how the car will run unless I can find the kit that reroutes back into the intake.
 
I ended up going with the greddy upper and lower intercooler pipes with the greddy type s blow off valve. Im up to 1400 dollars so im gonna hold off for awhile before I take the next step. Im also gonna probably sell the t4 so i can get a turbo that will just bolt right on. I think I should now have all of the accompanying mods to get a big16g or something similar. Maybe I just need a new fuel pump and Ill be able to handle the big16g. If I need any other mods other than the ones I have listed above let me know. Thanks
