Default just got my turbo kit

My Greddy turbo kit came today for my 1993 Ex and its going to be put on in late March. I was wondering what exhaust I should run and what kinda spark plugs and wires to get. I hear going a step colder is good and irdiums are not good. Would upgrading the igntion coil be a good idea to get a better spark. No intercooler came with the kit so I'm going to use a free intercooler I got from a thunder bird tubo coupe, its a little smaller size than a civic radiator wich I think will just work fine. Bigger intercooler make you lose more boost I think? Any advice will help since its going to be my first turbo expierence.

NGK Plugs, one step colder, and OEM Replacement wires

as for exhaust, anything 2.5" should work. Did your kit come with a down pipe?

my turbo kit. I took some pics of the manifold, turbo and wastegate, downpipe and engine management. there is a usb jack in the e management so that makes me think I can hook my laptop up to my car.

I'll preach this until I'm blue in the face, ditch e-manage. Especialyl since you're already OBD1 and have a p28 just begging to get chipped and tuned with Crome

i agree ditch the blue box and go with a chipped p28, it will save you a lot of headaches in the end and it might save your engine sooner.
