Turbo Q's Options

[d3monc3lica]

Ok so I'm buying a basic turbo setup from another person on here and I was wondering, due to the fact that with this purchase im only recieving a Turbo with internal wastegate, Manifold, MAP box, oil lines, FMU, BOV, and downpipe I know that I can't just bolt this thing on and get it to work (Note, there is not intercooler but does come with piping to the intake manifold), my plans as of now are to:
Buy a SAFC, OBX Fuel Rail, Venom Injectors and possibly fuel-pump.
Now because the 6gc has a higher compression pistions and I know its bad to run boost on high compression, shoild i 100% swap the pistons out with lower compression ones or is there a way to run LOW boost with all the fuel management there. I plan on buying the intercooler and turbo timer and boost controller too but after the fuel management, but i need input, this is my first boosted car and no i dont mean stolen lol. Thanks

technicly the bigger then better (if turbo'ed) but if your pushing under 10 (ish) psi it probilby wont make much diff, I would say 2.5 would be best.

stacking Headgaskets

Sounds like a very bad idea to me, thats not what there for, and would make it weaker. (not in hp but in its ability to hold)

what guages are a MUST to install?

well no guage is a MUST but your probilby be able to avoid "utter distruction" with a boost (to make sure your not pushing to much) oil temp (see if you turbo is cooking your motor) and oil presure (if you leaking oil, or have to much in) all of witch can help you catch something befor it happens. (you gata remember that adding a turbo not only make the motor have a bigger demand for better oil, because of the added hp, but that the turbo itself takes oil from the pan to it, meaning you'll probilby need more then normal and better then normal oil for the best performance.
