My turbo setup
 

here's what i got so far

2000 D16Y8 civic coupe

IHI TC04 Turbo w/ downpipe flange
95 CX manifold
Adapter Plate
Oil fittings
Oil Lines
MX-6 BOV
Misc. pieces of intercooler piping (still need more)
(just bought the above stuff from Lincoln213)
Front mount intercooler 30x6x3
Cold air intake (piping for the intake side)

the rest of my mods:
AEM Cam Gear
AEM Fuel Rail
B&M fpr
Venom Fuel Pump (in-tank)
MSD 6al Ignition
MSD Spark plug wires
Apex Exhaust

i've been doing alot of research here lately and i'd like to know what else i need to get this bad boy up and running. here's what im thinking:

FMU <---- can i go without for a couple weeks?
450 Injectors <---- can i go without for a couple weeks?
Downpipe <---- can i rig up something for the drive over to the exhaust shop?
Missing Link <--- i heard there's a way around this too right?
Piping from turbo to IC


if the parts that i ordered from Lincoln213 get in before this weekend, i'd like to get it all installed and fired up.

im trying to go as cheap as possible and so far i've got roughly $600 into the setup (including intercooler)

if i have to get the FMU, 450s, & missing link just to get it running i'll do it.

does anyone have any experience with the TC04 turbo? i know its small, but i think it'll be a good turbo for me to start out with. anyone know how much boost it puts out stock? (dodge colt i believe) does it have an internal wastegate? also, is the TC04 off the Colt water/oil cooled? do i need to run a water line also?

i need some help here guys

If you ae getting 450cc injectors you will need something to control them with(AFC, SMC, Chip,.....).

If you are using the FMU(no you can't go without unless you aren't going to boost)you will need the missing link(unless you aren't going to boost).

Re:My turbo setup
 

so i need to get the FMU & missing-link. would the stock injectors hold up to around 8lbs boost?

anyone have any info on the tc04 turbo? i think i read that the tc04 off the colt is set at 8lbs. not sure though.

Re:My turbo setup
 

The TCO4 is very small... i almost bought one but was glad i didn't when i saw one on a colt at a yard. I have pics of one mounted to an HF manifold but can't post them cuz I'm a retard. do I NEED to host them somewhere?

Re:My turbo setup
 

You're pushing it at 8 psi with an FMU. Very risky, but it will work. Be careful. :-\ I hope you have gauges?
