I already bought a cone air filter, afm adapter, Boost gauge, a/f gauge, coolant gauge, and gauge pod; and I was wondering if it would be safe to throw on a downpipe, midpipe, 3" single Apexi, and FCD this week. Would I need a walbro 255lph and bigger secondaries?

Well I am no TII or Turbo guy at all. BUT I hear that using a narrow band O2 sensor with an A/F guage renders it useless. From what I have read(little) the EGT guage is better used. Also I personally would suggest the FCD go in first then the exnust after you are sure it works and all. I am unsure of what size injectors you would need for that but the walbro was a smart move.

yeah you should get both walbro and possibly biggger 2ndaries. Atleast the walbrow, your gona boostcreep like mad though. Have you ported your wastegate?

It has new Kuhmo Ecsta 712s on the car, and I'm planning on porting my wastegate this weekend. Hopefully it should pull pretty hard with this setup, right now, the car isn't at full boost until 5k rpms in 3rd, so I think the 16yr old cat is pretty restrictive.
