So for even 280 bhp I'd need injectors and fuel pump etc?

They're brand new in box. Come with rings and wrist pins. You'll just need con rods (I believe eagle ones have a good name) to attach them to your crank. They drop the compression ratio to 9:1 and are designed to work with the standard frm sleeves of the h22.

just buy a scooby imo, boosting a lude is expensive, i really really considered it to the point i was out bid at the last sec on a full kit.
The cost is all the stuff you don't consider like tyres, wheels to suit, bigger brakes, clutch, gearbox and thats before anything else engine related!

if you want to go low boost and be reliable it'll cost many pounds still, you need to look at decent waste gates, decent turbo, exhaust manifold just to make sure you don't get any spikes in boost that will kill your engine then there is the ecu and tune, you want a decent ECU, look at all the hassle ratty had with his piggy back, in the end it probably cost him his lump running too lean.

fair play if you do but i'd rather have a decent spec scooby to arse about in or a celica gt4 :twisted:
