Hey guys,

I just got my car back from the shop with a rebuild head and a brand new "small" 16g turbo (from Lennel Foo - L&R Racing $900, good guys tu ). I have minimal mods -- 2.5 exhaust, no air can, k&n filter. I have an a/f gauge and boost gauge but no a-pillar pod so those aren't in yet.

What I was curious about is what I should do/mod/buy to accompany the new 16g and to get the best performance out of it? Are 550's and new fuel pump required? Should I get a boost controller?

Thanks guys

Start by putting the boost gauge in. For all you know your boost could be creeping and you're not giving your engine enough fuel.

Anyway, I'd suggest a pump, 550cc injectors, an SAFC for tuning, an EGT gauge to keep an eye on your timing and knock, and a boost controller to set that bad boy up to 20psi.
