lol, that's what i was thinking too but then i started to think that maybe those were just the misc. stuff ... but if that's all that he has, he's got some serious searching and reading to do before he even thinks about turbo charging.

Im thinkin you need a turbo.... that would probably help... if and when you do, make sure you have everything for your oil lines for the turbo, silicone connecting hoses, and enough time to spare if you f**k something up.... but those are just a few small things

if your running sohc turbo then you'll need to find headers to fit your turbo, it depends on how you want to set up your pipes,u may have to remove your powersteering and maybe your a/c, and maybe more stuff. I don't know much, but i helped my friend put a sohc turbo kit in his z6.

heres a list of my setup,you can use it as a guide ( http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=72857 - third post down) Good luck with it..

if he has a greddy turbo kit, then he has a turbo manifold, which means he can't use a header!, so he the most basic parts aready.

hmm, the one thing I ask, whats your method of tuning? Please please please tell you me arent going to use the e-manage..

the e-manage won't be bad if he leaves everything else alone and leave teh boost setting at what teh kit comes pre-set to, but if he mess's around with things then that's a different story.

eh...sell the greddy kit haha. For much less money you could get a complete solid setup that would let you have full tuning capabilites and probably kick out more power in the end..

the greddy kit is very decent, sure if he gets rid of the e-manage and get someting like the AEM stand alone unit then he'll be much better off, when i had my dohc zc running on 7psi with nothing more then a apex'i safc i was putting down 188hp with the greddy kit, not bad really.

Im not saying its "bad" im just saying for the amount of money that it cost him, he couldve got a COMPLETE setup with every bit of tuning capability and been able to push out more power...
