I am not exactly sure what you are asking for.....are you wondering what our expierences are when we did our first kit, or are you asking what you are missing. I am kinda confused.

Iv answered alot of these questions, if you search you might find my reply, but Ill just post it again.

If your running a stock motor just go with an HF manifold but you will most likely need an adaptor so it will fit your turbo. Their like $50 bucks I think. And instead of a JRC intercooler, you can get a intercooler for like $100-150 on ebay. Also you can get a replica blow off valve for like $30 shipped which beats a $100 used one.

All that right there should save you some money. You also need

injectors
walbro fuel pump
wastegate, but since your considering an HF manifold I assume you have an internal one.
downpipe
cat
oil lines for the turbo, you also have to weld in a return line into your oil pan

Just take your time and dont half *** anything.

It really helps to have someone there that has done a kit or two. Buy your friends some pizza and some beers and just have fun with it and dont rush anything. Just remember to get the car tuned as soon as possible. You said you have an ECU but did you have and EMS, or something in mind.
