You need a fuel pump, knocklink and a remap. Ideally sell the Blitz boost controller and buy a 3 port solenoid.

If you want more power FMIC, hybrid turbo, 550 injectors, clutch, consider an uprated gearbox. Big brakes would probably be a good idea too if you haven't already.

If you put it on to see what it is like it will probably det, be too laggy, and not give you enough performance.

My understanding is that it will pull like a train once it kicks in but as it kicks in later than the std turbo (500-800rpm later) it's more of an all or nothing affair.

You need a remap if you don't want to risk blowing your engine up.

The EBC does not control boost as well as the ECU with a 3 port solenoid and is not as safe.

If you are going to do it, do it properly.

Yes I can do a custom remap (and it has to be a custom map for what you are planning), but you'll need to come to me. Bob is nearer and could also do it for you. There is an Ecutek license on the ECU I did for you, so Bob would not have to use one to program yours - speak to him about costs.
