Your set up has the major stuff covered, youll need little things still like couplers, clamps, some vaccum hose and an oil line kit. You do not need a fuel pump at that boost level, however if you can afford it, it wouldnt hurt to have.
You can pm me directly if you have any more questions.

Re: Alright i need advice

thanks for the quick responce, sorry its a 90 civic sedan, and ya i didnt put the other small stuff in cus the post was getting long but ya im planning on oil lines, boost gauge, vac lines, couplers and clamps for charge piping and all the fittings for the oil lines and o ya and manual boost controler.

Re: Alright i need advice

That sounds almost exactly like my first setup... although I used a T3 & VAFC.

You don't need a fuel pump or a boost controller... Unless your wastegate is set for 2 PSI.

Don't forget the downpipe...

Annd if you're feeling overwhelmed, you might want to find someone to tune it for you. Learning how to build a kit AND how it to tune an be a bit much all at once.

Re: Alright i need advice

The reliability of the engine will depends on the quality of the parts used, how good the engine is built, good tuning and how well YOU take care of it :y. Don't go raping it with a base map, be patient and get it street tuned or dyno tuned. Do not expect too much from that engine. It has it's limitations and as long as you can be satisfied with the most you can get from it at a certain boost level, it should last a long time.
