I bought a 14b eclipse turbo today and a manifold for 100 bucks. Need little bit more obviously before it all goes on. I know pretty much nothing about turbos so I figured I would give this project a try. What would be cool is if all you guys with the turboed d's on here could give me some advice and a list of things I am going to need to do to complete this project. So post up the advice and other things I need to gather including were to find them that be awesome! thanks guys

-450cc injectors
-Tuning (Chipped ECU) (HONData, Neptune, ect.)
-Blow off valve
-Downpipe and dumptube (recirculated or not)
-Intercooler and piping
-Gauges
-MONEY

The 14b I believe is an internal wastegated turbo, I could be wrong, but if so, that should take care of the wastegate you would possibly need.

I'm not here to knock you and I wish you all the luck with your project but why in the world would you buy this stuff and have no clue about it?

You won't be able to run 5 psi on an internally wastegated 14B. I believe the wastegate opens at 11-12 psi on those turbos.
