Default Building a turbo kit - check list

I am working with a local guy building a turbo kit for my car. The way his comes its a turbo, waist gate, blow off vavle and 321 stainless manifold. I need to make sure though that I have everything... Here is what I have

T3/T4 Turbo
Manifold
Tial Waist Gate
HKS BOV
Piping
Cuplers
IC
SAFC
12.1 FMU
oil lines and fittings (with bung for pan)
Fuel Pump


Is there anything else that I am missing that I will need to make this thing run right? Thanks guys!

ditch FMU and get 440cc/450cc injectors. Look up the AFC hack, much better than an FMU setup.

I am trying to work out a deal for a Honda Data, trying to get it up and running, I will worry about that crap later... I'm not a big hack fan - I love stand alone

You'll want to get some specs on that T3/T4 that will fit your engine and hp goals. And just some help on the terminology for future reference: It's Tial waste gate, couplers, and Hondata. You will need larger injectors as well, visit www.hondata.com to start your research.

make sure your manifold and turbo will fit in that space in front of the block and that you will not have to use pusher fans. other than that, downpipe, wastegate dump tube and looks like you've got it

street or race? oh and you forgot your exhaust system 2.5" or 3". well the question now is your power goals. injectors and hondata for sure.

From used parts found here on h-t:

Manifold, T3/T4, waste gate, intercooler = $840
DP, IC piping, BOV, oil lines = $500
Thermal 3" = $400
450cc, Resistor Box, clips = $95

Running total at = $1835

Just need some fuel management and a dumptube and I think i'll be set.
