have some questions on t3 t4 turbo kits for an FC

I have a t3 t4 turbo kit for my FC and haven't installed it yet. I'm kinda hesitant on doing so, because i'm not sure of everything i will need to get for it. the kit comes with the piping and stuff, but not sure if i need anything like boost controller, wastegate, fuel pump regulator ect. can anyone help me out and let me know what i need to have? this is my first time having a turbo car and don't really know much about it. Thanks in advance for your input.

More info, what's in the kit besides "piping and stuff" Do you have any other mods done to your car?

Without knowing the specs of the turbo its hard to tell but I think you'll need some supporting mod such as fuel pump, larger injectors, ecu tune/upgrade or somekind of piggyback unit. The piggyback will work but its kind of just a bandaid to the tune issue. Does your kit have a wastegate? Its probably a good idea to get a boost gauge, boost controller, and a wideband if you going to try to do it yourself. Is this a "EBAY Special" kit?

T3/T4? sounds too small to me. You want a full T4 turbo...
