3. 1gen dsm BOV

Oil supply kit
Oil Return Kit (tap your oil pan)
12:1 FMU (if going that route)
bigger injectors if running mor ethen 6psi (safety is first)
Missing Link to hide boost
Down pipe unless you are running open o2 housing

more stuff is needed to keep it safe

I made my own kit a few months ago, I started looking for parts at the junk yard and found a couple of things, but later I thought differently...
If I was going to make my own kit I knew I would end up upgrading parts later on, so I went ahead and just bought a combination of used and new parts for the kit.

Check this out:

New 31x6x3 Intercooler____________________________$295.00
Used HKS Wastegate _____________________________$160.00
New Oil Feed Line (Included Fittings)_________________$75.00
New Oil Return Line (Included Fittings)________________$55.00
Used FMU______________________________________$0.00
Used In-Line Fuel Pump___________________________$0.00
New Downpipe Flange____________________________$27.50
New Tubular Exhaust Manifold______________________$294.81

New Lowe’s 90 degree elbow (Compressor to intercooler pipe) $4.97

Hopefully this will give you an idea...

Just an advice, I spent about $20 at lowe's getting connectors, they will NOT hold boost, don't throw away money like that, just get good stuff from the beginning!!!

I went to place locally that did all the sewage for the county I live in, They sold me this hose called "Water discharge" hose, it's rated at 30psi. It has worked great since I installed.

I got pictures of the proccess, let me know if you want them, or if I can help in any way.

dont forget the 1/2" steel adapter plate. also make sure your T3 is gonna clear the block with that manifold. i kno my buddy's didnt on his 2000 civic ex. we had to make an adapter eblow for it.
