Default Turbo help

i have an 09 coupe 2.4l. ive picked up a 70mm hks turbo for a good price, im not to sure of the proper things i need but im only going to run 5-8psi boost so i dont have to do a rebuild. im looking for help in the parts i need:
-intercooler
-turbo
-manifold
-blowoffs
also do i need a timer and controller for running small boost?
what else do i need and is it best to make my own piping or order some off ebay? thanks

I don't want to sound mean...but you have ALOT of researching to do. ALL the info you need is right at your finger tips..you just have to search the internet.

When going turbo there is ALOT of parts involved. I would recommend you search for a few months on how a turbo system works and the type and brand of parts you want to use and to steer clear of.
Also you want to research the extra maintenance and headaches that will be involved. (example: you have to let you car sit at idle for 3-5min when shutting her down so the turbo can spool down and cool off/The extra oil changes that will be necessary..and the list goes on)

Some more things to parts list : Waste gate, injectors,fuel pump, wide band, standalone system like AEM, Hondata or some other tunable ECM.
A turbo timer will help prolong the life of a turbo.
