check ur compression rate to determine if u need new internals or not...if that checks out ok then ur ok for mild boost setup..

get the turbo outlet/downpipe from ebay

get the greddy m-spec fmic, its only like 400 which is amazingly cheap for a good name brand

dont forget about a turbo, wastegate, fuel pump, boost controller...and thats all i can think of right now

emanage isnt necessary, just get an safc and a good tune

msd? u dont need ignition crap unless u got extra money

oh and metal headgasket would be helpful..

oh and dont forget about oil/coolant lines for the turbo..

enjuku racing/jgycustoms/ebay/option imports ect just google whatever product ur looking for and find the best price

well if ur gonna do internal work u may as well do it all while u got it apart..but if ur only lookin for 250hp then u dont need internals as long as ur compression check comes out ok.

SR injectors are fine. The most important part though is definitely tuning. Most KA's blow up due to people skimping on the tune. Take it to a reputable shop and have them tune it, dont just order a JWT ECU and think you are good to go because those things have some crazy settings...

You dont want to run 16 PSI on a KA with stock internals though. While it may last for a little while, it will go one day. I would run .5 BAR (~7 PSI) MAX on a KA with stock internals....
