Really? I figured increased flow increase the supply lines you know.
And you think that a CSS TMIC will work with this turbo setup or should i go FMIC?

And I wasn't planing on putting on the pump yet. Just buying it now so i dont have to later

Unless you are going to be running a monster turbo, there is no need for the fuel rails, all you need are fuel injectors and a pump. Both intercoolers will work, but most people on here will tell you to go with a tmic. They are cheaper and offer less turbo lag. The pump is a fairly simple install, I installed a walbro 255 in my car myself in about an hour.

The list has few thing that I would not do, Megan Racing exhaust manifold, Kartboy short shift, Gruppe-s light flywheel and Agency Power rails, I would save your money on these.
The CSS TMIC might be fine on a smaller trubo, but I look eleswhere.
Stoptech makes nice stuff, but I would look into the DBA rotors, better IMO.
I would also check Deadbolt turbos, they make a Super 16g with free rebuild for life. I have a SUPERZILLA 49 on it way.
What type of EM are you running?

Im running Cobb but i'll have to do protunes after everything is said and done.

I'm doing the manifold to remove the upipe. Just a plus that i get the headers along with it.
Th short shifter is just personal perference.
I've been off and on about the clutch and flywheel. Does the flywheel make a difference?

it makes it harder to launch but revs easier. It's generally a bad idea on a stock internal EJ20 as the motor is quite small and you need the help getting going.

I saw the kit at the meet we had. The core looks nice, the piping is 2.5" on both sides, the only down side I saw was the Alum. bumper beam, not great for a street car. I also feel that the flow numbers are going be lower than what is posted. My Hyperflow is rated at 1000cfm and the intercooler was as much as there whole kit.
I am not tring to say anything bad about CSS products, I just feel that there is OK products, and much better products. Research alot and spend your money once.
