ECU either way regardless of the boost amount, turbo = need for Engine management
Look at kit details too, some come with new fuel rails and injectors included.

You NEEEEEEEEEDDDDD to tune it. Crome, Uberdata, and Hondata are cheap and effective engine management solutions. The AEM EMS is the top-of-the-line choice. Don't use a piggyback (AFC).
You will definitely need new injectors and it's a very wise idea to get a Walbro 255 fuel pump. What turbo are you going with?

If the fpr that comes with the kit is a rising rate unit, DON'T use it. Yes you will need to have your car tuned using a engine management software of some kind, as previously stated. Yes you will need injectors and a fuel pump. A fuel pressure regulator is not needed, as the stock one will work just fine. You will need a Walbro 255lph fuel pump and injectors in the 400-500cc range. You can use dsm blues (440cc i believe) if you are short on funds. Personally, I would spend the money and get some new RC 550cc's.

For a hundred bones and a small amount of work...i would get a fuel pump. IMO it's worth the money, you'll regret it if your factory pump fails on you or can't keep up with what the injectors demand.

Like everyone said; injectors, fuel pump and a nice tune.
I hope you did a compression test, leak down test, and all the required maintenance are done. If you're running on a stock clutch, be prepared to have it replace soon.
