Ok , finally got the turbo ordered...I got a Garrett T3/T4 with all the hardware, a Turbonetics Wastegate, a 30x6x2 IC and a Turbo XS Blow off valve. All this is goin on my 99 Si which is basically stock except for my AEM v2 CAI and some Greddy headers, both of which will be replaced by the turbo hardware. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on what else I should be getting? I wanna get a turbo controller, but Im not sure which kind. Probably either the GReddy or Apexi, and Im not sure how easy they are to install. Any thoughts? And keep in mind I wanna be able to push somewhere between 5 and 7 psi.

You might want to upgrade exhaust if you haven't done that yet...Apexi N1 is awesome.

What are the pros to having a manual boost controller?
I wanna make a sleeper and the stock 2 1/4" Si exhaust is good enough for me....I wouldnt want to go much larger if I did. |

The SI doesn't have a 2.25" exhaust stock I don't think.

Just make sure to get a good fmu. The profecb is a good boost controler for the money. The advantage of a manual boost controler, is the price, especially if you won't be changing it from 7 too often.
