Okay other than the norms, ie..turbo, bov, map sensor, etc...

What is needed to keep it as safe as possible?? I'm planning on getting the MSD BTM 6b, i believe, Greddy Profec E-01 Electronic Boost Controller, & misc gauges (boost, oil pressure, EGT). I just want to know what else would be good to do??

Any comments welcome.

& I want to just run 8 psi till i get a head job and get forged pistons. But how should i contend w/ my friends.lol I think i should own david's integra vtec, seans 300ZX NA, and definitley Jeremy's OZ lancer. But how will i do against a mildly tuned 95 Mustang 5.0 GT & jamie's 67 falcon, w/ 351, i know he'll burn me lol.

Thanks for words of advice.

& i'm not getting a 3sgte, sorry, I may do a head swap though.

Personally i think 8psi on a N/A motor is decently high. Your going to want to get lower compression pistons. I'm thinking u will be safer with 5 - 6psi.

a boost controller cant decrese boost below that regulated by the wastegate. it would only be used to increase boost really. you still get boost spikes with a boost controller at stock boost

A boost controller can go low or high. I had my 3s @ 5lbs yesterday.

does it cause any problems going lower than stock

A boost controller can not be used to run less boost than your actuator is set to.

My boost controller will not go below stock boost (8 psi).

i'm wondering if the rods and pistons from a 3sgte would work or not?? I know their different blocks but i am just curious.

Thanks i'll look into getting pistons. but would it be better to build the head? or block?

I plan on doing both, i'm thinking of just doing a whole build.
