Default Turbo info?

I've got a 99 Si. I have been doing mad research on building a turbo kit. I have found all of the major items like turbo, manifold, intercooler, wastegate, BOV etc. Now all I need to find is all of the small stuff. It is hard for me because I have no idea what all of the small stuff is such as oil lines, what size how long etc. I need a list of all of the components to a full and complete turbo kit. Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks guys!
Jon

once u start building it and putting it in the car u'll notice what extra's u may need, save up a few extra bucks ( maybe i should say a few extra 100 bucks to be safe) and once u begin putting it all together u'll notice right away what will need to be bought, this is the same for any major mechanical work. good luck

this is on the site..

Now, put the spark plug wires back in and crank the motor up! Let the car run for 10 mins to lubricate the turbo. Check for oil leaks or fuel leaks. If you do not see anything for 10 mins, then you are ready to test drive! Do not boost yet. You will need to use at LEAST 92 octane or you will risk detonation.

what about 91 octane?
