Personally, if I had a brand new car (been thinking of buying an echo hatch for commuting), I wouldn't skimp on too much junkyard stuff, I'd probably go with a log mani, with a small external gate with a 4 psi spring and a new Garrett T25. For engine management, an EIC (www.sdsefi.com). If you used an aquamist instead of an IC you could probably leave your timing as is. This is a setup I've been thinking about for a while. An S-AFC would work too, with a little bigger injectors, but I like the EIC more for a low boost setup since you don't have to butch the wiring harness, which would void your warranty.

Good luck

Lol I understood that almost as much as a Japanese site. :-[ Lol... Yeah I'm a little new to this. :P

I'm not sure about this EIC... sounds like it's more or less for those who know a little bit more about what they're doing. I'm not too worried about my warranty either, I'm pretty putting a turbo on the car is gunna void it anyways. :-\

What am I looking at on a setup like this; psi wise? and $$ wise?
