very nice kit, and it doesnt hurt the wallet, if your going to buy a kit and not peice it together, peakboost is the way to go.

-injectors- 440cc or bigger- $50-300
-FMU- ECU with base map -150
-Manifold-$100-600 You can get a used blox or log for less then $200
-Down Pipe and Dump TUbe-100-300 Spoolinperformance makes Down Pipes for Alot of Different Manifolds
-Waste Gate- used TIAL 38mm cab be purchased from $80-150 Make sure to get the spring and fire ring with it,
-BOV- 50 new Ebay greddy knock off
-IC- can be had for less the $200 just look around
Turbo- many variables here, I would stay with a name brand used turbo from the classifieds precision SC61's sell in the 400 range but other used drag turbos sell for less just look around and negotiate, make sure the turbo is in good shape (no shaft play or blown seals).
-intercooler- Classifieds has many from 100-300 or just get an ebay one for like 130
-OIl Feed and Drain- Feed line can be had for $50 and you can make your own drain with barbed fittings and tranny lines from Autozone or an auto parts store. there are several oil lines for sale by diff people so pick on.
-vacuum lines will be needed maybe like 4feet to be safe.
this should get you started as to what you need and an estimated cost. Just look at the classifieds and sponsor section. Good Luck
PS. Don't foget about reinforcing your motor chassis IE; brakes, tires, clutch and flywheel, tune up, motor mounts if you want. etc... boost is no good if you set up can not support it.

Re: (hatch-E-vanish)
I just finished piecing together my turbo kit. Started in February and finished and installed it last month taking my time. I got most of my parts from people here. Total cost was around $1100 for me so $1600 should be plenty. There's a couple of good threads in forced induction faq section, especially the one by igfrequency. It'll tell you everything you need and how to do it.
