my piping will be ebay'ed as i will draw up my plans and hack up my old intake to make the filter sit at the same spot it always has been.
oh, i need slim fans, anybody wanna help me out with that? i'm looking on ebay but i have no knowledge as to how they work. what size they are and whether i need push or pull fans.

NICE!
But I think you should mension how rediculously massive your turbo is! You could get a smaller one and save another $150 or so.
I think my TT kit came to about $3200, and after gauges, injectors, management and coating it went up to about $5000.
My kit has a smaller turbo, but an EL manifold, as well as 2.5" downpipe and S-pipe, all heat coated black, along with the manifold and hot side of the turbo heat coated.
Also, all my charge pipes were powder coated black and I got a vacuume block (you should get one!)
But all that other stuff I got (except the downpipe which you still need) is just additional stuff, and you save almost $2000 from what I spent!
I really think you can save some money going custom, it just takes more time and effort to get it all put together.
Good writeup, aen!

i found injectors for 32$ a piece.. there the same ones that threadstone offers. there meant for the ford lightning svt's and apparently there direct drop in. i even found the injectors clips that convert the denso plug to a ev1 plug..
that means no cutting of your oem injector clips.
these are bosch injectors and there the exact same ones the threadstone kit comes with. I have the link if anyone wants it,,
