the hardware fits fine. but you cannot use your na ROM. you have to either flash to a evox ROM or swap to the the evo ECU or run a piggy back AEM FIC8.

No, it will be a custom job and you'll need a tune.

Ok but than would I have to change injectors? If not swapping the ecus would be much easier. And I'll be able to do it myself instead of payin for it all to be installed

just a tiny bit of advise, get some help or you are gonna chew off alot.
putting a turbo is gonna be more than just the ecu swap, your going to have to tune it.
plus who knows what other issues you may run into.
hope you can do it, this isnt a small job.
Good luck my man, if you do it props.

If you haven't done it before better not do it. Seek for professional help.

If you don't swap injectors you're going to have to install a 5th injector setup, and in that case swapping for evo injectors is the better option.

Honestly if you're asking if an RA turbo bolts up no prob you obviously haven't done the research or have the know-how to complete this project. I'm not trying to offend, I'm just sayin.

I have worked a lot on cars my last car was a Mazda protege so this is a huge step up. I've never turboed a car but I am wanting to piece it all together and get the main things installed which is why I'm asking what all I may need I know it will be difficult but I also have my father who's a mechanic helping. I'm planning to put all the main things on than having a professional tune the car so that part is left to them. I live in a smaller town so there is one place in town that can do it and they charge 120 /hr so I figure that money can be used to have it tuned.
