if you can score a revhard for a few more dollars i'd get that, cause i believe the hondata setup you are getting is just stage 2b which isn't that expensive of a setup.

i dunno i'm not diggin' the DIY piping thing. My friend got all his piping for his turbo setup done for $250. that's downpipe running into the exhaust the pipe from the wate gate running into the exhaust piping. All the piping to go from the turbo to the intercooler the charge piping and the thing to bolt on the BOV. everything for $250.. you can score up a turbo manifold rather cheap, get the turbo get an old beat up on and rebuild it, or just get a nice new one. Get everything else comes out pretty cheap.
