More Parts!!!

I'm getting my motor rebulit and I've been buying lots of parts (the list):
ACT Street/Strip Clutch
9.5lb Aluminum Flywheel
Power FC + Commander
Koyo Radiator
Apexi GT exhaust
down/mid-pipe
Greddy Dual Intake System
ASP larger intercooler kit
Tein Flex Coilovers with edfc
greddy elbow kit
greddy type s bov (was a pain to get)
defi gauges (boost/egt/temp)
efini turbo pipe
seibon vented hood
Is there anything that is a MUST while the car is torn apart or that would aid in it's opperation besides turbos (i'm going to rebuild the stock twins). Also what do you guys think of what I got going, is this a good set up. can i control my boost with the pfc. THANKS in advance!

no, the pfc is not a very efficent way of controlling boost. skip buying the edfc and get a good electronic boost controller, or do a seach on manual boost controllers. There is a good write up and they're cheap.

From what I've heard, rebuilding the stock turbo's is a waste of time. Send em to BNR and get some more powa' out of em. lol

I've never had a problem controlling boost with my PFC.

Thanks for the replies! looks like i'm buying a boost controller and returning an edfc! I got a call today from my builder, and he said I need a new rear rotor housing. so I had to buy both of those (i bought the front while i was at it). starting to run out of cash What boost controller should i get? how about a turbo timer? thanks

Start with marty T. at Injected Performance he has great prices and ships same day(859-224-0461 ext.223). Otherwise the rx7store.net is GOOD if you don't mind waiting a bit. The people at rx7.com are great but their stuff costs just a LITTLE bit more than the rx7store.net. That are the only people I've dealt with besides trussville mazda.

That's a waste of money if you're still using the stock twins. The PowerFC controls boost using the stock solenoids on the stock turbos with no problem.
