alright theres about less than a month before my MR comes out of storage,
i ve been purchasing and getting parts off my friend throughout the winter my goal isn't to have stupid high hp but just to be quicker than stock. So far i have an electric boost controller, intake, exhaust manifold, downpipe, gauges, intercooler,new spark plugs and wires and aftermarket bov.I still have stock motor and stock turbo. Would everything be good to install? i don't want to blow anything. Does anyone have any advise on else do i need or what not to install. thanks for reading my post

sounds like you're good to go....change your cap and rotor while you're at it..our cars seem to go thru them like nothing.....

Well, I think MRQTurbo's estimate is good, so with that in mind, you wanna make sure you have good brakes. Stock is OK as long as they're in good shape and working properly.
A tighter suspension would be better to handle the extra HP and speed. You'll beOK as long as your struts are still good.If not, Tokiko or KYB ajustable struts. Lower springs are great too for stability .
Anyway, you will notice to extra HP right away.
Have fun and be safe.

thanks alot for everyone's help
just one last question about the fuel cut defender is this so i am able to raise my boost to 15psi? i have a jdm 1992 mr2 do i still need this?

On the USDM model fuel cut kicks in a 12 psi. Not sure where the JDM cut fuel at. But you will need to eliminate that . With a fuel cut defenser, you can raise the fuel cut to 17 psi. or you can eliminate it all together. It's kinda nice to cap it at 17 psi to help protect your engine from over boosting.
