Where to buy Supplies? I am looking at doing a custom rear mount turbo in lue of the STS kit. Just seems like there isn't much in the kit when priced out to make it worth the cost. I have a pipe bender and an exhaust shop that can do the welding and flanging for me but I dont know where to buy the supplies and exactly what else I'll need. Please feel free to add to the list or supplies and help me find places to buy them.
Turbo (thinking 60-1 or t76 dont want to go over $1K Turbochargers.com?)
Exhaust piping (I already have)
Flanges for Turbo
Silicone couplings (??)
T-bolt clamps
44mm Tial wastegate
2 to 2-1/4 alum. tubing
-an lines for oil
Oil Pump
Air filter
Alum tubing for air filter
optional:
42# injectors (probably)
walbro 255 fuel pump (probably)
Electric boost controller
What am I missing and where can I source parts? I'm not scared to buy used stuff from a good source.

as most will say a 60-1 is to small for our engines. t76 would be better, and you can get one for around 1k. Check out forced inductions, there a sponsor.
For flanges check out stainless works, there a sponsor also, they should have any other pipe, and bungs you may need. For the rest of your stuff on list you can get it all from the sponsers, check out EPP(exotic performance), or Speed inc, Or texas Speed.
You will need injectors, 42's should be fine for 5-600 hp, id probably get siemans 60's, and the walbro 255 is a must also. Electric boost controller is not required you can get a sub 100 dollar manual one.
As far as buying used stuff check out the for sale section on this site.
Stuff your missing probably.
2 pumps for oil lines. Having a turbo in the rear, you cant get a drain to work, because usually its a gravity drain, so you need a pump(im assuming Oil pump in your list is for inside motor). You may as well just do a seperate oil system 1 gallon tank, 2 oil pumps, 1 on feed, and 1 on return. You will also need all the fittings for the An lines. fittings cost more then the lines, alot more. You should get a bov. Not a big deal, but you will need some ngk tr6 plugs probably. New gaskets, if you want to run any boost at all you need a front mount, which is gonna mean you need some steel to make a brace for it.
You will need silicone transitions. Are you gonna run a maf? or you going to go to Speed density? What about tunning?
Good luck, Chris

Thanks for the input. I was thinking a local shop (RPM motorsports, or Mayham motorspots) would be doing the tuning on the stock ecu as thats what the sts kit uses (well a hand held but reflashing anyway) I was looking at NHRA Trans Ams oiling system and I like the idea of that. I dont know where to find the oil pumps though. I am still on a stock motor with some high mileage so I was thinking the MAF should hold up to the tiny 5-6 pounds of boost I will be running for the time being. By gaskets are you talking about head gaskets? I have been told that will likeky be the first thing to go on the stock motor. Steal isn't a problem along with any custom mounting tools I have a shop for that. I was contemplating the intercooler anyway I dont really want to chop up my front bumper but I know it will help with the IAT and be safer on 93 octane. Again thanks for the help and keep them coming. I hope to get started in the next few weeks.
