unless your runningn high boost i wouldn't mess with the internals if your on a budget... but guages you def. need are ofcourse the boost gauge, egt gauge, and the oil pressure gauge... some people say you need more or whatever but these are most important... also if you don't already have a good aftermarket clutch with at least 90% holding increase then that would be something you def. need.... another good idea would be exhaust...
ooooooohhhhhhhhhkkkkkkk. Here is everything you need for your custom set up:
-turbo
-turbo manifold
-wastegate(not needed if you used the turbo's internal wastegate)
-Blow Off Valve
-Intercooler
-Gauges(boost, oil temp, air/fuel ratio)
-VAFC, or some other way to play with you air/fuel ratio(Apexi Power FC in my case).
-breather
-charge piping
-down pipe
-oil lines
-increase your exhaust piping diameter.
You will need to add the following to run higher levels of boost
-Forged Pistons
-Rods
-Crank balanced (not neeeded but a damn good idea)
-Sleeved(once again, not needed but a good idea)
-Turbo Cams
-High Flow fuel pump
-High flow fuel rail
-Larger injectors
-Fuel Pressure Regulator (I say go with an FMU)
-Some form of Boost Controller, either electronic or manual.
-Turbo Timer (not essential but nice to have)
-One other damn important thing. Get yourself a mechanic who knows how to tune a turbo honda, so you don't go blowing things up.
I probably missed something in there, so add whatever.

how bout the egt gauge? cuz i hear u need it
its better to use the egt than the a/r ratio gauge, its more accurate. ummm about basic parts. if you use a fmu and missing link as your fuel management (NOT recommended) you will NEED a inline high PRESSURE fuel pump. if not using a fmu and missing link you need a high FLOW fuel pump (255 is good), no matter what...atleast i would to be safe.
make sure before you buy all those things, that you'll get a COMPRESSION TEST. You said youre car is a 95 right?? we wouldnt want that engine to blow up now would we....
and yea no need to mess with internals if youre planing on running stock boost 5-7 psi should be ok.
haha maybe he just wants some more posts
