Default DIY turbo help!

Here is what I have on my list so far:
(2000 si B16a2)
*Treadstone IC?
*Rev Hard manifold
*Garrett t3 (.42/.48) internal wastegate
*DSM 1g BOV
Should I just get the piping and down pipe fabricated at a shop? What about air filter and oil lines? Also some fuel management suggestions? Let me know how it looks so for, and any suggestions for completing it would be much appreciated!

Good list of stuff so far, where did you get your turbo, and/or what type of car was it off. Any ways if you know how to weld just get a charge piping kit for like $50 and DIY. If you already got a short ram or cold air intake re-use that filter and the intake piping. There are many different places on the internet to get complete oil line kits for your T3 for about $80. If you think its going to be a while before you are going to get a good tune, get some FMU or missing link unit. I would get an obd1 ecu like a P28 for example then have it chipped and tuned with Hondata, Crome, ect.

Thanx for the help! I havent actually purchased anything yet. Im trying to narrow down my choices for each item to make sure im looking at quality stuff. I'm looking for more reliability in this kit then power, at least for now, so do you think Im gonna need things like bigger injectors or fuel pumps etc. or will that come farther down the road when I am looking for more power? What brand of FMU would you suggest and 10:1 or 12:1?

heres the item number for the turbo on ebay let me know what you think: 150000336922

Yes get larger injectors, 450's should be fine, you can get them for cheap out of gen. 1 eclipses. And a larger fuel pump is a good idea to a walbro 255 should do the trick. Get these iteam right off the bat. I personally wouldn't waste my money with FMU's, just get your ecu chipped with a good tune. That turbo should be fine for your set up, but $150 is expensive for that turbo. I would go to a local junkyard soo you can see the turbo up close for yourself. Make sure there is little to no shaft play in the turbine and you could score a good one for around $100.
