Ok,

So I've bought a Manual Boost Controller and a Boost Guage off of Ebay and am awaiting their delivery.

Before installing these, Do i need anything else? I'm planning on boosting the stock turbo to 15psi.
I'm not interested in too much power and I believe i'll get a little bit more when pushed up to 15psi.

But do i need anything else? I've already got the Exhaust, Intake, BOV, etc etc.

About how many horses do you think i'll be pushing?

man this turbo stuff sounds confusing, but i was thinking about getting a charged car, is it really that hard to maintain or is it just common sence?

I would recommend to learn it before getting into it. With out basics at the very least you can blow your motor really easy, or if you know what your doing you can make big power safely. When it comes to tuneing make sure it gets done and done right.

maintenance is not back no diff really than an NA car. Just as long as you know what things to do, like Time the turbo before shutting the car off if you dont have a turbo timer

And what i assume you said Emonz, is that At this point i'm running 15s and after boosting more ill be running high 13's

Possibally, rember you will be making even more hp when you get a fmic though.

ye def, but i can't afford a FMIC yet.

Manual Boost Controller and Boost Guage off of EBay = under 100 bucks = easy
Good FM off Ebay = 400-500 = hard/bad
