Thanks Mike for you help with this.
So I need to get these parts from Tearstone;
-The Tearstone FI Kit
-Fuel Management
-Fuel Injectors
-Clutch Kit
-Quaife Limited Slip Diff.
-Boost Gauge
-ECT Gauge
-Installation (other source)
Couple more Q's, you guys sell all these parts? Could you give me the links? And also, how much is shipping, if I were to buy everything at once? Any kinda deal?
Also, what does a Limited Slip Differential do? Yes, I'll probably do some drag racing, quarter mile times. And what does the ECT gauge detect/read?
Basically, I'm looking to do 300whp to start, then later I would like to do closer to 400 or 500whp, like the description says, but I know that upgrading internals are now neccessary to do. But that will be later down the road, when I get a raise  So what type/stage clutch should I get? I heard centerforce is strong, but i'm not sure about the different types.
So if I had those parts above installed, and I was running 8psi, I would be 100% safe, or should and can I run at 6psi? Its just that it's my daily driver also. Also, can or should I get a boost controller, since I will eventually be upgrading?
So I would get charged around $500-1000 for kit installation, but what about the other parts? It's probably going to run me more for the clutch, differential, gauges, etc. right?
Thanks so much for your quick response Mike, and your help. I really appriciate it, I know how valuable time can be. Oh by the way, nice Eclipse! I lovvve black, and your rims too. Do you have this kit installed? How much HP are you running?

You are right with your list Blaise. Getting everything at once is a good idea too, because it can all go in at one time, instead of seperately which costs you more downtime.
We sell everything you need. Like Russ said, add everything into a shopping cart using the shop feature on this site and you will get a total cost.
A limited slip evenly distributes the power to both front wheels. It aids you in launching and cornering. Aside from that, the stock differential is very weak and breaks easily under hard launching. The Quaife has a LIFETIME warranty against breakage, meaning it is guaranteed never to break, and if it should you get a free replacement. The EGT (not ECT) stands for Exhaust Gas Temperature, and measures exactly that. It is a way of telling how lean or rich your motor is running. If its too hot, you risk engine failure.
You will need a stage 3 clutch in my opinion. Spec makes a great street disc, as does ACT. I have the ACT myself and like it a lot, bit either one will do you good.
You could run 8psi safely. You wouldnt need a boost controller right away however. That would be something you could get later when you are ready to raise the boost.
Thanks for the good words about my car  I just raised the boost to 12psi, but I havent dyno'd it yet to see exactly how much power its putting down. I would assume around the 350 area, which I would be pretty happy with.
Let me know if you have nay more questions.
