just bought a t3 turbo
i bought my turbo for my car today and im not sure what else i need, i know the basics like intercooler,manifold and fuel regulator and oil lines and pipes, but what else besides a valve do i need to make this work right. :thinking: :jawdrop: :dunno:

Hondata Piggy Back Computer (and the cable to fit your ecu)
Wastegate
All the misc pipes and stuff like you said
RC Engineering 410cc or so Injectors
New In-tank and/or inline high volume fuel pump.
Turbo Timer
Boost Guage
Some would even say some internal block work, but I'd say no if you're going to run all that, that I listed above, at like 6-7psi.
Oh, and a lot of Dyno Time.
That's if you want it done right, of course. If you want a car that runs fine some of the time, runs rich others, runs lean others, stops working now and then, and blows up here or there...
Then just go with all the tubes and pipes, the IC, the intank fuel pump, a v-afc or s-afc and some guages / dyno time.

Hondata is not a piggyback, it is a modification to the ECU itself.
RC doesn't make 410 cc/min injectors.
I certainly wouldn't call a turbo timer "necessary." It just idles your engine for a preset amount of time after you take the key out.
If you plan on going the FMU route, you will need a manifold, turbo, oil line for turbo, wastegate, charge pipes, intercooler, down pipe, dump tube from wastegate to downpipe, upgraded fuel pump, MAP sensor bypass, and a boost gauge would be a good idea. This setup will work decent, but it won't be very precisely tuned.
Instead, it's a good idea to skip the FMU and MAP bypass, get upgraded injectors, and a Hondata.

Exactly...no point in spending $100 for an FMU, $100 for a fuel pump, missing link, check valves, afc, tuning, etc...just spend a few extra hundred and do it right. Thats not to say you cant make power on an FMU setup, I just dont see why anyone would want to anymore.
Sounds like a pain in the ass for a T3 setup. Buy a used greddy kit and save yourself some time if thats what you want.
