i bought turbontics kit, turbo xs utec and evo 2 exhaust. for the turbo do i have to have a boost controller or turbo timer? what else do i have to have?

 

What type of kit did you buy? The standard or tuner kit? The exhaust will have to be modified. No, you will not need a boost controller. The stock wastegate is about the max. in boost you need to run anyway. Unless you are just one of those guys and go all out or want to run less boost for spirted driving. Turbo timer, I would say get one. There only about $100 bucks. More of a maintenance issue and helps in aiding of proper turbo oil cooling, IMO. Some say it's not necessary.

Also try picking up at least a wideband and boost gauge. It really sounds like you need to talk to a tuner. But be careful that don't sell you something you don't need. Even the great ones will do that. They are trying to run a business and I'd probably to that myself to.

 

First of all... you should have done a lot of research before you bought the turbo kit. You shouldn't be figuring this stuff out after you already bought it... that's just my $0.02
