Default Questions about turbo in general

So I found a place that will sell me the turbo for the 420a pretty cheap too. But I was wondering what else I would need to install it . I know alot of you have gsx gst so it a little different but in general what else do i need to buy . I not talking full out turboing at 16 plus psi . But what i need to install the turbo
It a
Turbonbetics T4 Turbocharger w/ Star Exhaust Manifold.

I dont want to hear sell it and buy a gsx!! I already know how much easier it would be .

This has been discussed alot as far as what you need. There is even a full writeup in the eclipse FAQ section on building a 420a. Try reading that. The star kit was one of the first people to design a 420a turbo kit so it isnt bad. But usually the kit came with more then just a turbo and manifold. However, other things to consider is the fuel upgrades as well as the intercooler kit. Take a look at hahn racecraft. Im sure they have info on there as well

oh i wasnt saying to buy the hahn kit. I was just saying to look at what they provide because at the minimum thats the extra stuff youll need.

He said it was from star, which is one of the few known kits for the 420a. But hes getting it used so thats probably why its cheap

looks like it might be a nock off brand for that cheap. i dont know if its a real bb turbo. why did you decide to spend so much more turboing the 420a instead of just getting the turbo model?

I havent turbo'd it. Just a thought !as you can tell not into spending alot for it. thats why I was asking about the min i would need to install it. yea the pictre isnt the same as the product but i dont think he would lie about it. you gonna see it when you get there anyways

I know im still trying to find a gsx.
