I am thinking that I have fuel issues. I'll try the Shell V-Power. I have read that some others didn't care for it but I need to try something. Check this out: last night a kid thought my car was running 11's because I have flames shooting out my exhaust when I race. I said nothing to change his mind, either.

Just to stay on top of things, I am closer to fixing that problem I had with the N flash and will do a full write up in a few days. Seems a number of problems stacked up on me and I had to go back to day one and figure it all out. Thankfully I keep copious notes and have a good memory.

Can someone tell me what I'll need besides the GREDDY Turbo kit for my car to run good? I am getting the turbo kit today and I am wondering if I'll need anything else like a boost controller or Better BOV, ETC...Joey

Well, for one the kit does not come with a BOV so you will need one of those.
The following are just some suggestions; not just to make the car run "good."
Greddy oil pan
oil catch can
electronic boost controller
boost gauge
turbo timer
better heat shieling, what comes with the kit falls off i've heard
for tuning:
emanage support tool
injector harness
wideband afr gauge
egt gauge
fuel pressure gauge
Later on:
custom 3" exhaust
high flow cat or test pipe
I'm sure I left something out. Hope this helps

Joey-
The kit is a bolt on kit and should run fine without anything else. Those suggestions I gave you were just to achieve best performance from the kit. The emanage comes with a very conservative fuel map that runs very rich.

Horse, how do you plan on passing the NC visual inspection check?

It seems to me that any gain that may be had by adding nitrous could be better had by turning up the boost unless your turbo is so oversized that you need the nitrous kick to spool up. It that were the case the RX-8 world would be abuzz with talk of the first 500+ h.p. Renesis.
Of course, right now the PCM is the biggest hurdle to overcome.

Find a shop that does aluminum welding and tell them where you'd like the flange to go on the piping piece.
I had to adjust my BOV several times to get it to not stall at idle or still hear the compressor surge when shifting. Not sure how to correctly set it up.
The catchcan goes inline between the oil filler neck tube and where it was connected to on the intake pipe.
