preference of boost.

[RJ's325ITS]

manifold
wastegate (some turbo are internally gated and part of the turbo)
turbo
charge piping
silicone couplers
fmic
t-bolt clamps
oil feed and return lines kit
coolant lines (if the turbo is water cooled)
bov
injectors
resistorbox (if you're using peak and hold injectors)
chipped ecu
boost gauge (recommended, but not essential)
colder spark plugs (bkr7e at least)
vacuum line to connect bov, wastgate, and boost gauge.

I think an EGT gauge and a wide band O2 sensor and well as the boost gauge is a *must*. IF you want to protect your investment, also helps to diagnostic issues faster.

What is:
ARP studs
EGT gauge
wide band o2 sensor?
how do they help diagnose

isnt charge piping just the piping holding the bost between turbo and intercooler etc.?

thanks for taking the time to explain this. i really appreciate it

ARP head studs are just stronger hardware holding the head to the block.

A wideband shows the air to fuel ratio (rich or lean, lean = melting stuff, rich = not at power potential and 'wasting' gas)

EGT if i remember correctly is just exhaust gas temperatures... tells how the motor is running.
