Thinkin bout gettin a 95-97 240sx and this boost deisgns turbo kit since I will have some extra cash from my current truck (I hope).

Is there anything else I need that does not come in the kit for a stock 95-97 240sx? Such as a new exhaust or something. Im pretty new to the turbo scene. How will this engine hold up? It will most like have at least 80k miles on it. Thanks.

80K? She's just getting warmed up. Some guys on here have 130K+ milesYoull probably want a 3" catback exhaust and a clutch to go with the kit. And of course, you'll want to take care of any maintenance issues (water pump, timing chain) before you boost.

You will need a boost gauge, exhaust gasket, gasket sealer, oil filter, oil and the rest of the exhaust system.

But if you buy an catback exhaust, it should come with an exhaust gasket?

You need the exhaust gasket for the manifold. That does not come with the kit.
