Custom turbo set-up..comments?
My friend Matt and I are looking to put together some turbo kits for our cars. He'd be doing the same thing except with some better parts and a T3/T4 turbo. He's probably shooting for closer to 300whp while I'm shooting for atleast 200whp on 7-8psi, intercooled and tuned.
My list of parts listed below...
-T3 turbo w/ internal wastegate
-turbo manifold/ 2.5" downpipe
-Maxrev piping kit
-hoses, clamps, etc.
-oil lines
-BOV
-Vortech FMU
-fuel pump
-FMIC
-gauges
-turbo timer (might not get one, it's not necessary..)
I might have forgotten something but pretty sure that's it. All this, with buying some stuff used, should cost me about 1500, giver or take a couple hundred.

Injectors, boost controller.
Make sure that fuel pump is an inline pump.

I don't need a boost controller; the boost is controlled by the wastegate.
What brand/model fuel pump do you recommend?

why the internal wastegate on the turbo but everything else looks ok besides injectors and fuel pump which has already been mentioned

Yeah I'll probably leave the stock injectors in and see how those do, and switch out for some bigger ones if I need to. dubster, what brand or model inline fuel pump do you recommend?

By the way, it seems like my pricing for the piping will be cut from 400 to 150, because Matt is friends with a guy with a shop, and he's going to custom make my intercooler piping AND exhaust piping for only 150 bucks! Shweeeet. I just need to buy the muffler and pay him for the piping too, but things are looking up
