Turbo newb sorta ok lookin to turbo my 5.3 rx7 and was wondering what parts i need. so far i have a t70 turbo, 25x12x3 intercooler, BOV, 255lph fuel pump, and some truck manifolds. i know i need the hot/cold sides, wastegate, wideband and feed/ return lines oh and of course a tune
im not lookin to make crazy horse power, its more of a "see if i can do it" type of thing and WOW factor at the local car shows.
oh i read all the stickies and that stuff up there. i just wanted to get some of your opinions

You can build the hot/cold tubing yourself. Place the turbo where you want it and start cutting and welding. Tack everything up, then finish weld once it all fits.
You will need bigger injectors for that 5.3 to go with the tune. How are you tuning? I'd recommend HP Tuners. There are others, but I like HP.
Make sure to get the correct spring in your wastegate for the boost that you want to run. You can get a regulator later if you feel the need for more.
Do you have a V-Clamp for the down-pipe. You will need that. What are you doing for your PCV? There are many options here. I'd use a check-valve/catch-can set up.
