All that is need to be done is an intercooler/ ignition/upgraded pulleys/boost controller. Everything else was already on the car. (including the fuel)
as for boost probably no more than 15psi

How much power do you want to make? Cause a T78 isn't very efficient until you crank up the boost. You'd probably make just as much power at 15psi, as some people out there make with 60-1s 62-1s. I'm shooting for 400 with my new slightly better turbo

the only reason why i was only boosting that low is because of the intercooler i have. Until i get a reasonable enough IC im not going to risk it. The T78 came with everything (was practically new) and for $2100 you cant go wrong with that. mods in my sig; the only thing that didnt come with it was the instructions, HENCE why i was asking for help to put this in the car. & BTW i frogot about the wideband that i need to get as well
My ecu is a power FC & dont know about the wastegate spring.
IMO the whole reason y i got the turbo is to get into the 10s or less in the Qmile
rey i thought you already had a single turbo in the car?
