Default Decided to go turbo. Need your input on my build !

Ok guys/gals i decided to go turbo and keep at the low boost for daily driving. What i want to do i start preparing and getting parts that i need for it so i dont have to dish out 5-6K at once.

This is the set up i want to go with: TurboToyotas basic kit

INCLUDED:

-Turbotoyotas "shorty" ram horn style T3 flanged stainless steel turbo manifold

- Garrett T3/T4 spec turbo

-TIAL 38MM WASTEGATE

- 2.5" Stainless steel DP and S-pipe combo

-Greddy BOV

- 20 x 7 x 2.5 intercooler

- 2.5" aluminum chargepipe kit with couplers and t-bolt clamps-powdercoated black

-3" intake pipe with K & N air filter - powdercoated black

-Turbotoyotas vacuum block with fittings for wg, bov and boost guage

-Steel braided oil feed and return lines

-Set of 550cc plug n play injectors

-All installation hardware


I know i have to purchase boost gauge, oil temp, A/F gauge. EMS i'm probably going with AEM FIC . Also i want to get boost controller and have two settings 5 and 9-10 psi for racing. Will the AEM FIC handle two maps? ( i do need 2 maps runngin for it right ?) Any suggestion on what else should i get? gauges, parts for the engine etc.

BOV question: Should i go with greddy that offered with the kit or get HKS instead ?

I'm a noob at it , so have to start learning. Also, is there a reason of should i start getting gauges, boost controller now or maybe wait, maybe a better part will be produced.
What do you guys think ? I want answers/suggestion from all the ppl especially from those who are boosted.
I'm planning to daily drive at 5 psi and 9-10 psi for track/racing.

you only need one map with the f/ic. have it tuned for say 8psi, and it will run good at 5psi as well. thing is, a boost controller can only go douple the rate, so if you get a 4.9psi spring, you could have one setting at 5psi and one at 9.8 psi. If your installing yourself, i'd go with the greddy bov cause the HKS is a pain to install, but I LOVE mine.

oh, and you need a gauge pod to.

It's funny that you want to be a silent turbo'd tC when there are people that go turbo just for the BOV sound lol...of put a SSQV Hybrid on their SC just to get the BOV sound lol.

I was under the impression that the turbo needed a BOV though... I dunno though, I'm a noobie.
