Alright guys, so here's my situation. I just moved out to my own place but didn't take any tools (which belong to my dad) with me. I placed an order for the Mase turbo kit last month...tune/install should be coming up sometime soon.

My question is what are some of the essential mechanic tools I should keep in my garage when I need to inspect or change something in relation to the turbo and parts? Is it necessary to buy one of those large mechanic tool sets (which cost an arm and a leg)? I've always done the maintenance/repairs to my car and consider myself pretty good when it comes to tools, but since now my garage is completely empty, I would like to know what I should buy before going turbo'd... Thanks.

 

Full set of metric sockets all the way up to 24mm. 2 full sets of metric wrenches. crescent wrenchs of various sizes. electrical crap like pinchers and tape. vise, vise grips. a big hammer, and most importantly a ton of patience as there will always be someting happening.
