Make sure there is no gasoline leaking, check your pulsation damper.
I would say stay away from ebay stuff, but since you already it would have to do.
and for wheels and rims go here:

for turbo setup plz dont get XS ebay stuff, i heard alot of horror story about it.
Just send in your stock turbo and get a BNR stage one or two, even 3 if you have too.

w00t another one from the bay!!! reppin da 415

Waste of money. FC's have water-cooled turbos that don't need long idling tmes to cool down. Driving the car normally (i.e. staying out of boost) for the last couple of miles is all you need to do. Unless abused, a stock turbo will last 10-15 years or more without a turbo timer. Adding a turbo timer won't improve that.

HOW DO I KEEP IT FROM CATCHING FIRE
Inspect the pulsation damper for signs of failure. Replace it if it has any. The PD isn't the only place that can leak though. New hoses is always a good idea.

There's no such think as an FC-specific pipe kit, all you'll get off Ebay is a collection of bends. Figure out what you need (lengths, material, etc) and get a "kit" that suits.

Brody8877, unless you're actually replying to something specific, don't just quote the whole damn post. It's a waste of space and annoying as hell to have to scroll through.
