Default EG B16A2 Turbo build help

I am looking to turbo my b16a2 in my eg hath and would like all help possible to make a list of what I will need. Here is what my current set up is.

B16a2 block
-p73 Nippon racing pistons
-new king rods and main bearings
(This done by PO, but verified that is was done)

B16a2 head
-aftermarket springs
-possible valves and retainers as well not too sure how to check

I plan on ripping out the motor and tucking wires and brake lines as well, so I have time to get things situated. All help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

This budget isn't enough for a good brand turbo kit and tuning. You need at least 1k more.

You can always buy the pieces separately and some ones used and make your own kit. A good street turbo kit cost 2k-2.5k with out supporting mods .i.e. injectors, fuel pump and "tuning".

Set your power goal
Save a few more money

And Good Luck.

The budget isn't set at 3k I can easily save more than that, and I'm looking to get at least 330 whp.

This is a good start. You might want to add some ARP head studs.

This is a good link:

I've used Greg kits and they worth every penny.

then get 4-5K ready to drop...s300+tuning is 1K gone right there boost/AFR gauge there's 400$ and the oil lines/catch can and welding the bungs there's 500$ now those are all the small things ppl over look. do you have the skill/tools to check clearances on the block ? if not you're going to have to pay for it to be assembled, you'll still be ok on stock sleeves.

I do not have the tools and skills to check clearance, and I'm new to the forced induction but I know its going to be pricey, what do you mean I'll have to get "it" assembled then?
