Default Goin' Turbo+nitrous

Ok, so i've made up my mind and it's final. I'm going Turbo (custom job)+ a Nos wet kit, for the smallest applications (ex. 40hp to 70hp).

Lots of people will think i'm crazy, cause my car has 174 *** km's on it and that i'll blow the **** out of my engine, and I haven't even checked the compression and leak down. Worst comes to worst, if the engine doesn't give good compression ratio or whatever, then I get a new engine instead of all this gear and wait another summer.

On to buisness what else do I need, only bare essensials, also if I don't have the cash for an intercooler for now, how do I go about that?

Here's what I know I will need

-Turbo manifold (Custom job)
-larger exhaust line (Also custom job)
-Downpipe (You guessed it...custom job)
-BOV
-Possibly a wastegate ( I think my tubo has one built in)
-A boost controller (Either manual or digital)
-FPR
-new pistons (Saw a review on SPR pistons in Import Tuner and they gave good results at a good price)

Also thinkin' about new injectors and ECU.

Unlike some and like many, I can't pay for the best gear out there, so i'll be thinking budget but also quality at the same time. No I won't be getting the cheapest things out there, cause that's a waste of money.

Anyways, if any of you have any suggestions, or you know some reliable people that sell on e-bay, then let me know. Thanks all.
