Default new to turbos: need help!

ive gotten a lot of good input from the actual integra forum about turbo setups. but i feel as if this would be a better forum for my real questions. to start off .. the car is a bone stock 95 LS automatic. i was told that i should work off a t3 or t25 turbo. smaller, quicker spooling, etc. i would prefer to build my own kit instead of buying one. that way i get what i want when i want. would anybody be able to give me a quick rundown of the main parts ill be needing. im on a tight budget, what with building my lowrider over the winter for show season next spring. but this is just my daily driver and a small side project. the only thing i know of is an intercooler, the turno, and manifold. im still learning about turbos .... but all these turbos have different sizes and trim codes, as do the blow-off valves and wastegates. i just dont know what sizes should go together to get the most out of my project. im not looking for mad horsepower. i just want a little kick and basically being able to show off an automatic turbo. maybe kick some *** here and there. but being the fastest isnt my goal. 200whp+ is my goal. and im sure with proper tuning and the right parts ... i should be able to get there. so please help me out so i only have to do it once and i do it right with the good ****.

heres a basic set up for you


intercooler piping
front mount intercooler
silicone connectors
Blow off valve
manifold
downpipe
dumptube
t3 super 60 turbo
tial38MM wastegate


Below is a breakdown of parts but kits can be purchased if this is confusing for you.
t3 oil drain flange
1/2NPT to 1/2 ( or 5.8) barb fitting
3-AN oil feed line ( about 48 inches long)
3-AN to 1/8NPT 90 degree fitting
1/8 NPT 3-way T female by female by male
1/8 NPT female to 1/8 BSPT male adapter

some vaccum hoses and what not and silicone or rubber or SS braided line for oil return ( 1/2 or 5/8 depending what size barb fitting you purchased)

fuel management- probably go Uberdata or Crome (* both freeware but you need to buy a chip burner and need a computer)
440CC injectors

boost gauge

misc nuts and bolts ( mostly M8 8mmX1.25 pitch)

2.5 2 bolt exhaust flange to connect downpipe back to exahust.


cant think of anyting else right now.

OH YEAH PS with the auto. be sure to get a rather large automatic transmission cooler to cool down the ATF. turbo burns up the fluid by runnin it hot. and kills auto trannies.
