Default First turbo build ever SLOW process

Hello honda tech members/viewers , i've been fixing my Honda body slowly, i have had this car now for couple of months new record for long time...
But its a 1999 ek4 hb with the paint y56. Engine has 270.xxxkm previous owner said the engine has less but i don't belive that without proof. But its in decent condition atleast no leaks but burns little if i take it too far in RPM 8600+. (Got p28 rev limit 9000rpm) but i try to shift at 8300. will change to 8400rpm when turbo.
When i got the car it had exhaust and intake, cutted springs in front and bad rust in the back fender and bad body paint. but now i fixed most of the bad paint and looks alot better but still not good enough.




As you can see i got no garage so i work on my car outside. Now that i have fixed most of the body it was time for the engine.. I got myself to buy turbo. I pieced it together myself on GoAutoworks which i highly recommend Greg is awesome to deal with! But the turbine itself and intercooler i got off ebay its a 57 trim turbo.




In this box it was.
Innovate wideband gauge
Innovate boost gauge with overboost warning
Oil pressure gauge
Grams 550injectors
Grams 320lph fuel pump
Tial mvs wastegate .7 lbs spring
Turbo xs rfl bov
Custom downpipe from GoAutoworks 10/10 very good quality!

Now i only need money for the Ic piping and few small parts also garage to rent to do this.

few more stuff that i want later on not in specific order
Type r roof spoiler
Type r grille
suspension setup
Itr or ctr cams
New rims..
Wiesco pistons
Eagle rods
Acl bearings
Bigger turbo
