Actually that's a fairly small post. LoL. What are you looking for? A complete turbo kit? Just the turbo? Good place for a manifold? You going to piece together your own kit (ie Custom)?

 

i want it done rite so i guess a full kit. this way i wont have to worry about missing anything

 

As far as kits go...I would go with a RevHard kit. I know there are a few guys on here who sell them.

I am piecing my turbo together and it's not as hard as you would think. I would much rather go that route since some kits come with certain parts that aren't that great.

If you want a list of parts you need to piece together your own kit, I can email you one when I get home from work in another long 8 hours.

A lot of people would say the right way is to piece together a kit with all the best parts. If you want something prebuilt, there are quite a few companies to choose from.

Revhard

Maxrev
http://www.maxrev.com/product.esiml?PID=3

Import Parts which sells Drag kits, Apex'I kits, F-Max kits, and RevHard kits.
http://www.importparts.com/

 

In terms of a lists of parts, here is something to get you started.

Oops forgot to add injectors.

Bigger injectors if you want to run more boost so you don't deprive your car of fuel.
Turbocharger
Exhaust Manifold
Wastegate
Front Mount Intercooler
Blow-Off Valve
Exhaust Down Pipe
Wastegate Dump Tube
Silicone Couplers and Clamps
Fuel Pump.
AEM Or Hondata fuel management.
Intake Air Filter Assembly
Stainless Steel Braided Oil Feed Line w/ Fittings
Oil Return Line Assembly
All Necessary Hardware and Fittings
All Necessary Hoses and Hose Clamps
All Necessary Gaskets
