Im buying all my turbo stuff now, and well I want to install as much as I can from my kit that I planned out. So my question is, If i put on 370cc injectors, 3" cat back, Walbro 255lph fuel pump, and 248/232 cam swap, will it cause any problems with the ECU? I dont think it will but I just want to make sure. Also installing a wideband and other various gauges (oil pressure and temperature). Also any other gauges I should consider getting?

when you install different injectors and other things thatll affect the fuel/air (turbo, different cams or whatever) you should probably pick up a SAFC and the wideband o2 sensor for tuning purposes.

or something like that.

The short answer is yes there will be plenty of problems with the ECU. Look at most commercial turbo kits from well known companies and see what they believe is necessary.

This is a pretty fundamental issue, it doesn't sound like you know what to do with all the equipment even if you buy it. Consider paying a local shop to do the build for you or buy a Greddy kit and have it installed, I think you will have less trouble in the long run.

I have already researched what to buy, and what to do. I know after a turbo to get it tuned. I'm saying that I will install the exhaust, injectors, cams, and fuel pump, then after I get the rest of the parts (turbo, FMIC, BOV, down pipe, etc...) I will install that stuff all at once, i just want to throw this stuff on right now to speed up the process of the full install later. Fuel pump, cat back, and cams shouldn't be a problem, I just don't know about the injectors really.

Unless you want to tune for the upgraded injectors, leave them out until your ready.

The rest of your idea is fine, cams, catback, ect.

^ Factory ecu can account for quite a bit.

ok cool, that was what I was looking for. The injectors was the only thing I was worried about really. Thank You!!!
