Default turbo 6th gen accord- need few more parts

Whats up people, i need some help. I bought a turbo kit the other day, and im still in the process of putting it together. I need a few more parts: Turbo manifold (anyone know where to get one for a 2000 accord? or know where one can be fab'd in nor california?) boost controler, oil lines, piping ( i might just goto homedepo and get some pipes and have them bent for me, then welded) gauges and bigger fuel injectors. Now, with that said, i only have 500 more dollars to spend on this, so if anyone is selling these parts please get in contact with me. Or if anyone knows with the get them, please contact me. Btw here is the turbo kit that i bought, please tell me if i forgot any parts to get (im trying to keep this turbo cheap and my boost is gonna be small-- 8-10psi until i have money to build up my engine)

You mean you gave up your F22head/H22block idea?

Yeah, its illegal in california. Turbo is too, but you can take it off and get it reffed a lot easier. Plus im putting my kit together for about 1000 bucks, so it is very cost effective.

uhhh...you are piecing a reliable accord turbo kit together for 1k? HRMMM... ...I spent 3k with a clutch and a full exhaust with a DP. And its still not everything I could want. but...on a helpful note...if you need some good parts...

www.dsmtrader.com Get some of the stock DSM piping...I used it on several places on my accord and the BOV I use is DSM also...along with injectors from a 1g dsm. Dont be cheap and cause an accord its down fall...I was safe and still extinguished my motor in 3k. Granted my timing advanced with out warning and expired the ringlands..but thats just life. I suggest spending a bit more money and playing it a bit safer...you also dont know what size turbo you are purchasing!!!!!

Well, you can get custom made piping for your turbo for 147 bucks. Everyone that used it didnt have complaints. Only thing is you have to get it welded from a muffler shop (good one too, because some people do shitty ass welding jobs). I think that will cost about 150, plus a couple extra peices of piping so i can get the shape i want, and i should be about 325-340 when im done.

I used DSM soft pipe and a few aluminized bends from JCwhitney...total cost of ALL my piping was around 150$ and the DSM piping came with a flange for the BOV so THERE are ZERO welds on my hot/cold pipes...and I had my DP and exhaust custom made with 2.5" pipe and the dump tube for The gate was retrofitted for my application.

f22b1 that link to dsmtrader was pretty good, theres alot of things on sale there that i will need. And the prices arent that bad either. Okay, so now these are the things that i need to get before my turbo is completed: Boost controler $50-$200(manual or electronic) a turbo timer $50-$150(might just save money and keep my car idling for a couple minutes after i drive) piping $30? bov $50 custom namifold $154 + welding $60-$75 and oil lines $20-$60 so that brings to to about $469 bux if i get the turbo timer or about $369 without it.

Also do you know if the f22b's manifold will fit the f23a? I heard that the f22b's look like the f23's but im not sure about them fitting.
