This is a list of all the stuff I used. I posted it way back here on the turbo help!!! post after I installed my turbo. All stuff off ebay unless otherwise noted.
T3/T4 Garrett Wheel Hybrid .63 (new in box off ebay for 256 bucks)
F22B Log style manifold from f22parts.com (was warped when I bought it. May want to look somewhere else before dropping the 300-400 bucks on it).
HKS 38mm external wastegate
Raptor style BOV
Prelude intake pipe kit with BOV flange welded in. (I haven't seen this on ebay recently, but it bolted right up. Just had to get rid of washer fluid tank). Came with all hardware!
Vortech 12:1 FMU
Walbro 255 Intank fuel pump
Godspeed front mount intercooler
MSD Boost Timing Master (jegs.com)
Steel oil line and fittings
Oil drain kit
K&N Air Filter (Advance Auto)
Vacuum line, bolts, clamps, etc (Advance Auto)
Autometer boost guage and air/fuel ratio gauge
Downpipe was used from someone with one for a 97 accord ex. I had to cut off the flange and re-weld it at a different angle. Also had to add o2 bungs. I recommend either getting one from a kit (like drag), or finding a used one like i did and modding it for your use. Otherwise, take it to an exhaust shop. You can even piece together a mock downpipe in PVC and take it to the shop to actually fabricate.
Looks like i forgot to throw missing link in there. That is a VERY important part.
