I call :bs: on the '99-'00 EX Greddy kit being that cheap. I can't even get them that cheap at my cost and I get a killer deal.

I agree that you don't have to run the boost controller for the time being. Just run off the solenoid. Safer that way anyway until you do some more fuel mods.

Heck, you don't HAVE to run a FMIC for the time being either. And I wouldn't run 'custom' charge piping unless you have a shop that does a killer job and mandrel bends. I have first hand experience with that...

Also, don't get a MaxRev/RevHard/DRAG kit. You will be pissed. Those turbos are too big for the 1.6L motors unless they're built a bit. A local guy runs a DRAG kit on his D16Y8 and he's so mad cause Sleeper's Greddy kit kicks his ass on the same motor. He just doesn't build enough power to spool the turbo...

Get the '99-'00 EX Greddy kit (11550050)
Greddy Type 31 FMIC (12050007)
Greddy Type S BOV (11501650) if that's what you want
And, I recommend a better boost gauge than Autometer, but you really don't need one until you get a boost controller...

I can get all of these parts at a great price. PM me if you need some more help. :thumbup:
