Hehe, 450cc injectors are so tiny!

If the turbo is water-cooled, you will need those lines as well. You do not need a turbo timer. Other than that, make sure you get a good tune, that’s the most important part, but you should be fine from the parts listed. Possibly a clutch too, unless the one in there can hold the new torque fine.

not all turbos need water coolant pumped through it.

If this is a used turbo worth only a few hundred, I wouldn’t worry about it. If it’s a Garret GT-series turbo that you spend $1k+ on, get the coolant hooked up.

Possible fuel pump as I don’t know what unit you have or what it can handle

laugh at me all you want, but the majority of home-brew D-series turbo builds I’ve seen, didn’t use the coolant. My car ran just fine without it. To each his own though.

fuel pump will probably not be necessary for you to run that small of a turbo with dsm 450’s…

you will need a resistor box to run those injectors as they run a little different than stock honda injectors…otherwise you should have enough parts…

if you need help or want to know what to expect give me a shout i just put this same setup on my hatch and getting tuned this weekend…
