If you were a new member and had no clue about the search function that question would be somewhat acceptable... or maybe if it was a hard topic, that isn't covered every other day....

well that specific kit is not all u need

thats just the turbo, manifold and dp i believe

u still need

fuel (inj,fuel pump)
ecu
ic

those kits are price reasonably now than before but doin it all custom is alot cheaper but all the guess work has been drawn out when buyin these kits

for me i bought a used kit, turbo had 40m on rebuild and was priced very well at 1400 but came with fuel system,bop, and everything to go with turbo

i scored on that deal

then i started upgrading the old stuff, like the Wg, then the manifold

maybe the turbo in the future

if u got more questions post it dont be worried about other people's comments

You can find some really cheap kits on here if you keep an eye on the for sale section. I got my kit for a good deal. to4s .70/.84 garret ball bearing oil and water cooled with v band, 4 in dp, manifold, tial 46mm wastegate, all lines, turbo blanket from gotham racing, block off plates....for 1500.

how have to realize in most cases that if you buy a complete kit the company producing the kit spends a lot of r&d money finding how well those particular parts work together and thus they bundle the parts into the best, most efficient package. Sometimes a custom kit can be good but sometimes the company kits are better thanks to all the hard r&d they do. Just my 2 cents, but a custom setup is still very good.
About the BNR twins, I was looking at them before my engine blew (couldn't afford them afterwards) and the members here that had the BNR stage 3's were very satisified with them. I never got to ride in a car with them, but the members told me they were excellent twins and worked flawlessly. I would recommend them over a single turbo unless you're going for some kind of dyno qween and shooting for those ridiculous horsepower numbers. For an excellent street car that can kill almost anything on the road, you can't go wrong with the BNR stage 3 twins.

Most importantly you will need a big bottle of aspirin for the ensuing migraines.

even with the bnr 3's u still need more fuel and an ecu as well as tuning

ppl go with singles for simplicity

heat is also decreased and yes giant power numbers

but there are kits out there that spool almost as quick as the twins but wont die out like stock twins

the bnr's are nice but id rather go single if your goin non seq with those twins

oo i live in the Av (palmdale)

oo one more thing single's looks 100x better

Emphasis on the following:

3. A stupid person; a dolt.

Classic, just classic.

Also, lots of gaskets... misc vac lines, custom brackets are always good! All the fluids, replacing all filters, fuel, oil, spark plugs... usually a new battery, smaller... odyssey is usually the choice. Blockoff plates, 2 diamond shaped ones... the extra is to eliminate the second oil return line in the rear of the engine. I just did mine, so if you have any questions... feel free to PM me while it is still fresh in my head, haha.
