   I need your help regarding the following:
   I've found out this: http://www.dp-engineering.nl/EN/prod...u_8v_compo.php
   I have an ideea about turbo systems and how they work but I'm far from knowing all the details. So maybe somebody who knows better could put down here all the components needed for a full turbo kit so i can check out what else do I need beside the parts included in the package from the above mentioned address. For example what I can tell from start is that an intercooler is needed. So if there are any other parts that you know for sure that are needed for the hole system to work please let me know.
   Thanks.

   As I forgot to mention the first time: I would also like to know what other modifications are necessary for this kind of upgrade (i'm not talikng about bigger breaks or better clutch, but ECU and.....).
   And most important: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC KIT??
   Again thanks.

   hi mate
   u would need the piping to take it to the throttle body & i have also been told before that you have to have extra injectors but im not 100% sure on that 1. A standalone ecu would also be needed id of thought, then you would need to uprate clutch, suspension, brakes etc. And have it all setup.

   you'll want an intercooler or chargecooler setup, and a minimum of an extra injector setup (or a standalone with bigger injectors).
   
   A GT28R is well over specc'd for the power output though. Best just stick with the GT25 for no extra cost.

   thanks for your answers. i'm willing to spend as much as it takes. i know that i'm gonna need all the pipings and an intercooler. i'm most worried about the changes that need to be done to the engine itself for this upgrade. i'm talking about an extra injector, ECU and stuff like this. which to be sincere i have no ideea about. if somebody could describe it to me and tell me the reason for each of these changes i would be very gratefull.

   I know you will have to lower the compression either by using a thicker head gasget or forged pistons.your best bit is to speak to some one who has do it before.

    you would need an mf2 unit, this is for the fueling when the car comes on boost, the idea is that the ecu runs the standard injectors, the mf2 runs a 5th or 6th injector when the car comes on boost. these are mounted into the boost pipe just before the throttle body, its a pritty easy and simple way of doing it, just sprays fuel mist into the air that enters the engine and stops the car from underfueling when on boost.
    if money is no object you would also benefit from low compression pistons, which would allow you to cope with higher boost pressures.
    
    as for the turbo a t25 unit would be sufficient, depends on how far you want to take it?? t28 allows higher boost pressures but this will melt your standard pistons lol
    you can also have the internal waste gate spot welded shut and have an external wastegate fitted to your turbo manifold, this will allow the t25 to hold boost a bit longer
    the t25 and t28 are water cooled you would need the kit for this (dp supply) and you would also need the oil feed/return etc (dp supply, but you can modify your sump for best results)
    dp-engineering are a very good company with some amazing show cars etc.
    
    you would need the mf2 unit, air fuel ratio meter, radiator and intercooler, oil cooler, boost pipes with extra injector holder, extra injector kit, silicone hoses, filter, then a remap of the ecu and it all setting up on the rolling road. all of these extra parts are available from john at GMC motorsport.
    i would also recommend a twin plate clutch, from helix or ap racing, and a bigger set of brakes.
    
    but if money is no object, i would recommend
    a standalone management unit, this would get ride of the standard ecu and would mean you wouldnt need the mf2 and extra injectors, you could run bigger injectors with the likes of kms management with wide band to help the setting up etc. then have a set of low comp forged pistons, with forged con rods and knife edged crank, all the engine balanced would be a beast
