For a basic setup, you'll just need the Walbro 255lph HP and a 12:1 FMU. You won't need the AFPR.

and one last thing, do i need a manual boost controller? it comes with that too.

It depends on the wastegate and the maximum amount of boost you want. Boost controllers can only adjust the maximum boost pressure above the wastegate's static spring pressure. For instance, if your wastegate's spring is rated for 8psi, a boost controller could only adjust the boost pressure from 8psi to 20psi+ (just for this example's sake, there other physical limits to consider when turning up the boost), with 8psi being the minimum.

To lower the minimum boost, you'll have to change the wastegate or its spring. Depending on the wastegate, the spring can sometimes be replaced.
 
Edit: You say in one post you are getting a Hahn, but in this one you say a T3/T4 kit.

Are you looking at an ebay turbo kit?
 
yeah i changed my mind. Im just going to roll with a ebay one for now. I dont want to spend TOO much money. I was thinking ordering all the parts seperate.

the only thing im worried about is the installation of the fmu, walbro, and the oil feed and return lines :confused:
