Most piping kits are a good deal if you don't have a welder, but then again, many people get them with the crappy clamps and have many issues with boost leaks. For those who it doesn't, they bring it to a shop, or stick to carb's 
Very few, if any, turbo kit will come with instuctions. I hope to have some sohc kits for 92-95 ex's complete with everything you need & instructions, but to cover everything is very daunting. You really need to research how the whole system works together, then after a few articles read, it should click in your head. BTW pricing *everything* needed for a complete kit, going with the cheapest part that won't have reliability issues, I've figured ~$400 if you weld it yourself & use some unusual methods. $800 for a more typical setup, ~$1250 for a common setup with a new turbo, $2100 for a 'baller' HMT setup. My lists add up to 35-50 part <U>types</U> from that 'junkyard hmt' kit to the larger 'baller hmt' kit, absolutely complete. Thats not including multiples of certian parts.
