First off. Dont bother putting a cat on your car. Unless you have to.
you can get a 255 walbro for 98 bucks. I would go 660 with a green. 550's are going to be a littel small. You can get them from about 400.
with a turbo that big i would suggest a nice set of 272 cams. There about 600 give or take. Porting the mani can be done for free if you do it.

 

[gst_spyder]

Forget about the HKS Hiper exhaust for a GST since the piping is only 65mm, get a A`PEXi N1 or a Tanabe Racing Medalion. Also to be honest the only thing I agree with on your list is the FP Green... You need to do some more research.

If your getting a Green and the one for 1375 that one requires an external wastegate setup. which is better. so you need the external wastegate and new O2 housing for that (if you mount on the o2 housing)

Also you are missing something that is more important than ever. What are you going to use to tune all of that stuff. Are you just going to put the parts on and expect it to be fast, the af ratios be correct, and the igintion timing to be perfect. If you put all those parts on your car and no tuning....

this is being said because you don't seem to be to experienced yet, I know it will come to you eventually and I am telling you now.

If you just slap that turbo on and put the bigger pump and injectors in they may still run lean and you can totally blow up your engine. With out something to detect knock and egt's you will have no idea if it is okay to turn up the boost and you might put it up to 24psi on pump gas(91)...then your gone

I understand that you like to know others opinions but check out the tuning guide on this site. It is really good and you do have most of the parts from there but just don't go slaping stuff on thinking that it alone makes a fast car.

 

[GSTurboGuy]

i have checked and checked the tuning guide..and i know you have to tune and i'm not experienced because i'm only 16 and this is my first car.....and i just because i didn't list or say something don't assume that i don't know that thing i've been researchin' for the last like 5 years...so yeah...

 

[13secGST]

also the greddy intercooler isn't that great...the spearco cores are much better they flow better and cool better. I ordered the Victory Performance Super-Street Kit. besides it completly replaces all the piping with nice short piping that IMO looks nicer too.

So yeh I advise just getting a good intercooler first, not skimping and buying something of lesser quality.

1.Engine:
Apex'I N1 exhaust - 500
Apex'I 3" downpipe - 250
technology 3" cat and 3" test pipe for interchange ability - ?/30
EVO III ported 02 housing - 255?
fp green turbo -1375
Walbro 255lph fuel pump -100
greddy type-s bov - 190
autometer boost/egt/other of your preference guages - 250
dejon tools intake & K&N FIPK - ~200
VP SSFMIC - 1150
Tial 46mm - 550
DSMlink - 550
edit* ACT 2100/2600lb clutch
edit* Quifer(Idon't know how to spell so F*ck it) LSD
edit* Ployurethane motor mounts

edit* I'm not tryin to put you down just letting you know that it isn't as easy as we all would like it to be.

I had time so I decided to modify your list as I saw fit. I am in the process of trying to decide what turbo to buy...I have a lot on my minde
big16g, 20g, L2r, FP Green I think about L2r and FP Green...they are inexpensive and at 300 more than a big 16g ported/34mm wastegate/cliped 10degrees but they also need and external wastegate setup and that is about 7--

I HAVE EMISSIONS!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T HAVE A TEST PIPE AND ALL OF THAT STUFF!!!!!!!!

 

[98TsiAWD]

DSMlink - www.dsmlink.com will have all the info you need.

As far as exhaust (o2 housing/cat/catback), check out www.rnrracing.com. ~$700 for a complete o2/cat eliminator turboback exhaust w SS 4" Tip. It will save you alot of $'s and is just as good.

 

[NewB2dsm]

Your going to need a clutch and lsd would be nice too. And you just cant slap all this stuff on and expect it to work right. And when you add all this up, expect at least a few hundred more for things you didnt think of, fluids, drill bits, and crap like that. Good luck, and if you are 16 who is paying for all these toys? And by the way just beacuse you have emistions does not mean you cant have a test pipe! when you go get the emistions put the cat back in.. easy as that.

 

[GSTurboGuy]

SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW! JUST BECAUSE I DON'T MENTION SOME TYPEA SHI* DON'T THINK THAT I DON'T KNOW IT. DON'T ASSUME THINGS... I'M ONLY TRYING TO FREAKIN' FINALLIZE THE PERFORMANCE PART, I KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.....SO SHUT UP AND JUST HELP ME FINALLIZE MY FREAKIN' PARTS LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GSTurboGuy]

AND LOOK WHO'S TALKIN' NEWBIE!!!! IF YOUR A NEWBIE DON'T GIVE ADVICE!! AND I'M PAYING FOR MY SHI*. I'VE BEEN SAVING UP FOR A LONG TIME..

 

[cait sith]

Oh no, you're not having a temper-tantrum, are you?

To make a parts list like this and say to whomever is giving you all this money for a black . Your absolute lack of experience with automotive tuning experience is showing clearer than anything else if you have to ask others what to get.

Read more, search more and drive more. I will laugh laugh laugh when you come running back here and go "I GOT SUCH AND SUCH parts HOW DO I TUNE IT?".

Start small and build from there. There are people who run 14's with a Green and low 12's with a 14B. Knowledge and good tools, above anything, will take you further than throwing money at something and expecting instantaniously the "FASTEST CAR" at your quick lube job/your highschool/ whatever.

thanks there bud. Maybe you forgot to look at when i made this account? yea im a newbie And im sorry that i seem to be an ass, but just b/c you dont mention things does not mean that you did think of them. So sorry for saying you need a clutch. How am i suposed to know that you had one in mind? There are lots of people coming on here and they dont know alot of things, and forget the stuff like EGT gauge, and clutch and stuff you should have. So i mentioned it. And yes im a newbie a year ago. Iv came along way sence then bud and i dont apreciate you telling me to shut up and so on. And in case you didnt look at my mods or anything like that and assume i have a stock car. here are my mods that i paid for myself (as you are doing) and installed myself.

K&N cone filter
Full UICP w/ 1gen BOV
Joe P MBC (set at 15psi)
Ported 16g w/ 34mm WG flaper
190 walbro FP,
ported o2 housing
Rs*R catback
Exhuast depot Downpipe (removes cat)
supra sidemount
And suspention stuff.

i wish you luck with yoru build up but dont expect things to go your way everytime. Expect things to brake and what not and have the money to fix it.
