well if you want to build urself a custom kit it might cost u a bit more, but at least youll be different. theres alot of things that you will need to complete ur kit, it would take me a while to make a complete list. try using the ADVANCED search feature on this site to find what your looking for. also try searching on 2gnt.com. it will be alot harder and will take longer for u to build a custom kit. jus do what i do and save 800 a month and youll be able to get a stage 2 in like 4 months. but if you want ur a custom kit try searching the web.......good luck or ask a wiseman..............

yes search, i started an exact thread like this. i was getting a good deal on the turbo, intercooler, and bov, and it was still gonna add up to more then a stage 1 kit. i am only averaging about $400 a month cuz im still in hs, im a senior now, and i couldnt afford $2k for a turbo kit, so just got a nitrous kit. nice boost for now, then i can turbo it later.

off the top of my head you will need the following:
your basic t25 turbo (you dont want to over do it) - 9 PSI MAX on Stock Pistons/rods
turbo exhaust manifold (star, hahn, custom, etc)
exhaust down pipe (exhaust shop can do this)
intercooler piping (basic pipes from an exhaust shop or whatever)
s-smu (vortech)
oil lines (i dont know where you are going to get these)
intercooler fmic or smic (not required but recommended for boosting over 5-6 PSI)
blow off vavle (get one off ebay or something)
high capacity fuel pump
new injectors 450cc (get some off a turbo tsi/eclipse gst/gsx)

i know i forgot something but these are pretty much all the parts you will need good luck.

dont get a T-25, you will just have to replace it, and it wont even be able to keep up with you at 6500rpms. you dont need new injectors right away either if you are only gonna run 7-8 psi.

you want the vortech S-FMU.
you also need an o2 housing
MBC
boost gauge
ehhh thats all i got for now
