Default new to turbo, need some tips/advice

hey, I have a 95 Civic coupe and I'm starting my own DIY turbo setup. for now my car has a D16Z6 motor but by next monday I'll have a B18B. after the motor is swapped in I'll be starting a turbo add-on in my spare time.

what I have so far:

mitsubishi T04 turbo w/10psi stock boost and wastegate
flange for turbo from old car
vacuum gauge from old car
custom square intercooler (it'll sit beside the half-radiator)
500 cc injectors
mandrel bends

so who's done this kind of turbo before?

ive never used that turbo but i have a b18b that is going on its third turbo setup.have you done this before? its seems to me like u still need some more stuff to complete that turbo kit of yours like oil lines from stealth mode, uberdata from projekteg,blow off valve is also a good thing to have,manifold from bmc,downpipe,and some other minor ----.I think u should take time out to check the site out before u start getting flamed (as i type this i see someone already got u).theres alot of good info on this site.

hmm. nice argument but you didn't help much, except for helping me with the sexual preference of my question.

I know there's a lot more to setting up a turbo and I HAVE read a lot of guides. and I don't plan to do anything until I'm ready. for now I'll just dry-fit everything and buy the parts as I go along.

so what size injectors should I use? what program works best? (uberdata or hondata)

obviously you haven't read ----. My car is almost up and running and i haven't asked a single question on any forum because all the info is there. Stop being lazy and seach, if you can't do something that simple than you shouldn't even think of ------- with your car

thank you. all my questions are answered in the first link.

I guess I was just trying to introduce myself but I went nuts by asking everything at once
