lol ^^ i feel ya ninetres. Ok just stick with it and work hard at it im positive you will spend more than what you're budget is "on paper" but you have the right idea more or less. One thing i will tell you though is that you can possibly go cheap on every nut and bolt on the car BUT DO NOT go cheap on turbo, blow off valve, wastegate, fuel system, and especially TUNE (get someone that knows their ****!). You could probably get away with a cheapy BOV but anyways those items have to be top notch and reliable because its the bread n butter of the entire system...other than that knock urself out n good luck man!!

Make sure you have extra money for the unexpected things that come up.

What are you doing for the hot side parts?
