I know this is a lot, but I'm almost completely in the dark here. I'd try to make these decisions myself, but I have no past experiance with anything turbo related, so I don't know what companies are good. Any help would be appreciated.

Yup, it's a home made turbo, and that's about the extent of my knowledge concerning them.

ok......for starters, do like 6 months of research before you dive into choosing parts, i did, and it was the best move IMO. figure out exactly what your goals are and how much money you want to spend, then cut that amount in half and thats what you pretend you can spend becuase it always ends up doubling. you can make a decent HMT using used parts and a cheap rebuilt turbo, and be done under $2k.....i spent extra to get moslty all new parts and im at about $3,700. so theres some cash figures for ya. o yea....plan on a new clutch, i havent added that cost into either figure yet.

but to answer your question:
ATPturbo.com for all your mandrel bends, flanges, silicone couplers, and hose clamps(get t-bolt clamps)
either jgs manifold, or make your own
ebay for intercooler and possibly turbo (t3-super 60 is common, or if you wanna spend more the gt28r) ebay is also good for wastegate, BOV, injectors, etc.

Thanks a lot. Yeah, i have been doing tons of research, and I have the basic idea so far, but I still need to look into it a lot more.

Yeah Tial makes good wastegates Greedy, Blitz, Apex'i, and HKS are all good brands that make universall parts that can work, more Ford specifice GUDE and Rouch do good stuff
