Default my friend is thinking of buying this turbo

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2444105114

he has a 92 h23a1, gonna have mugen pistons/rods by the time this turbo gets put on, like 9.5 compression or around there, his valvetrain was just redone cause his timing belt broke and fried his valves, i'll tell you what kind they are once he tells me.
he's had his head bored to who knows what/ported and polished.
anyway i got some questions for you guys:

what kind of fuel system do you think he should get?

possibly a different wastegate? this ones only 7 psi and if its dynotuned i'm sure with his engine being built the way it is it can take more than that.

anythign else you guys think he should do to his engine to prepare it for a turbo?

thanks

The drag kit is a good kit to get started with.

The kit comes with an fmu so he wont need a fuel system until he wants to upgrade.

The wastegate spring dictates at what psi it starts dumping air. 7psi spring is good enough.

If the engine is running fine then he doesnt need to prepare it any, just slap it on.
