building a turbo
I have a 1999 civic ex, d16y8. I'm looking for a complete list of the parts needed to turbocharge my car down to every hose. I know there is the turbo, manifold, downpipe, with an intercooler there is the piping and the intercooler, blow off valve and flange, wastegate assuming there is a flange on the manifold, oil return line, air filter. Tell me if I'm missing anything or if this is enough parts to turbocharge my car.

turbo
turbo manifold
downpipe
charge pipes
intercooler
blow off valve
wastegate
oil feed line
oil return line
-all the necessary fittings
tapped oil pan
fuel injectors
fuel pump
couplers
clamps
vacuum hoses
engine management
not necessary, but still good stuff to have:
intake
boost guage
wide-band air fuel guage
and even after you get hte parts, make sure...
-your turbo flange is the same as the turbo manifold flange.
-your turbine housing flange is the same as your downpipe flange.
-the oil feeds in to the top of the center housing of the turbo and exits the bottom with no restrictions whatsoever.
-make sure the oil feed cannot and will not kink.
-make sure the oil return does not have to flow up (against gravity)
-your oil feed is no bigger than -3
-your oil return is no smaller than -10
-vacuum line is routed to the blow off valve
-there is a vacuum line connected to the wastegate
-injectors are wired correctly. hondas injectors are saturated, dsm 450s forexample are peak and hold. you need to get the proper resistors in there for them to work correctly, and some sort of corrective through EMS or safc.
-do not connect your valve cover to a charge pipe, unless you want to create london fog.
