mbo .... the stock fuel rail will be fine to about 250HP.
The boost controller simply vents the wastegate line to the atmosphere until the boost pressure is hit, then it switches from atmospheric air pressure to manifold boost pressure and this pressure opens the wastegate in it's normal fashion .... the only difference is that when the boost is low, the wastegate doesn't see the building pressure that causes leakage.

OK, I have a 2008 coupe V6. what good quality turbo stuff can I do for about 3000 bucks. It has 270hp stock. I imagine I'm making about 280 with a K&N intake and Magnaflow exhaust. How much can the car take while still running for another 100,000 miles? Also, what is reliable and easy to use?

a deisel runs much higher CR and higher temp. exhaust. Chances are that it wouldn't work, but you need to learn how to and study the compressor and turbine maps. If they are common sizes like GT20 or 16G or T3, you should be able to compare based on impeller sizes, AR's and trim. Best bet is to email with the engineers at Honeywell, MHI or Garrett.

You could probably get an ebay special for 3 grand, but I would not recommend it for an 08. You will need about double that budget to have a good system, new and tuned properly. I have a mix of new and used parts for my system, but I also plan to upgrade the used parts when I get to my Stage 2 build.

why is this STICKED? it started out a nice DYI build with all the right questions but went to total crap in the end. there is really nothing special here to give it STICKY status. alot more tech advise on honda-tech.

My sister's fiance turned me onto the bosch plugs. I never really understood the point of them, but he swore by them. You say they blow out coils? I had an MSD Blaster coil that lasted maybe a 1/10 of a day before it went dead (using platinum 4's) . Hmm that explains things...
