Default the LS needs Boost! *pix*

I can't find anyone in my same position looking for a low boost custom turbo setup for their LS. I need help picking turbo/manifold/ect. Here it goes:


The car:
94 LS integra (it's lowered now lol)
~ 45k miles (it's a new longblock)



Goals:
Stock Internals
200-240whp with 6-8psi
Won't be taking past 6,500 rpms often
Budget is between $1200 and $2000
I have 9 months before I install everything
RELIABLE is very important!!

Please give me advice/opinions on:

Turbo that spools fairly quick, I also do a lot of highway driving, but need to hold boost to 6,500rpms (confused on what to buy..)
Manifold (unsure but my AC & PS are already removed)
Wastegate - does it have to be aftermarket? (unsure)
Exhaust (I plan on 2.5" with no cat)
Downpipe (unsure)
Intercooler – no front mount (anti-theft reasons)(was thinking large one from a saab)
BOV – wanted one that will be really loud at 6-8psi (always liked loud ones lol)
Tuning- was going to use uberdata – I know how to solder (thoughts?)
Injectors/FMU/High flow fuel pump – will I need any of this crap?
Will put Boost and A/F gauges in glovebox (anti-theft reasons)
Charge pipes (can custom some jcwhitney ones I think..)
Oil lines (unsure)
Is that mainly what I need?


Please give me any advice, this will be my first turbo setup.

I've got the garrett super 60, hits full boost at or around 3300 on my LS, holds up to redline. I have stealthmode oil lines, dsm 450cc's with the afc hack. I purchased my manifold from bmc racing....bov is up to you. You could always get a dsm side mount or paint your intercooler black . The turbo I have is internally wastegated....its too early right now hope this helps in some way
