    who said you needed those? all your stock is just fine. Ive used my stock tb, fan and radiator for 3 different turbo setups and its still doing just fine with type r setup.
    Someone is trying to make you spend way more than you need to. Those are all great to have.. but not a necessity. Your car will run just fine without them.

    ^this.

    You don't need to go all out to make it work. The turbo alone can overpower your stock motor if you let it. The add ons just let it happen sooner

    (other than the radiator, that does help, but mostly in road racing apps)

    I'm curious. Who keeps telling you that you HAVE to have all of these extra parts? I think that you are going to far. Save whatever money you can when you can because you never know what problems or issues will pop up before, during, or after the install. You don't need a tb, fans, radiator, for 400hp.

    AGREED!!!! And by keeping the stock TB your idle is a lot closer to stock too! Though the aluminum radiator is a good idea, especially for racing apps.

    It's nice to see some the experienced people commenting rather than what you heard or read. As mentioned, you can skip the TB unless you're going for 600+whp. I've been on stock TB, radiator, alxes, cams, etc., and it's still making the power that is does with reliability.

    I don't know about the JDM one, but I cut a good amount out to fit my USDM rebar. I don't have a top view but, here are couple when I put it together.

    oh I see Oh I definitely need a rebar and it has to be the JDM rebar for me since i have the jdm front bumper

    did you have to shave off any part of the inner bumper
    and it seems that you didnt have to cut out the bottom black part of the bumper grill at all...tnx
