How to Build a Turbo Kit On a Budget
If your going for a budget kit you might want to replace the aem ems with an emanage ultimate, they are much cheaper. If you want a really cheap kit, get this one

I was running a kit similar to this about a year ago, the only thing I upgraded was the turbo and wastegate. Everything worked great. I had it for around 20K before upgrading. kit made around 350 hp. at 12 psi it was actually well built for how cheap it was. Intercooler piping and downpipe fitment was very good.

you forgot the fuel pump ($100) and you also forgot to include how exactly the air is getting from the turbo to the throttle body (unless you want a really expensive engine bay cooler) ... intercooler piping (depending if you know how to weld) is around ~($500 if you dont) and ~($200 if you do) not including couplers/tbolt clamps another ($100)
op, you have so many missing pieces its not funny.. and your prices are really off on most things.

So you used the Godspeed intercooler, downpipe, wastegate and all too?
Any issues with the couplers and clamps and oil lines etc?
I bought the kit used for around $1200 but it didint come with the oil filter relocation stuff. I ended up getting the ultimate racing version, it works fine, just have to check the hose clamps every once in awhile, they seem like the want to come loose every 5k. If I did it again I would go with a an fitting version of the oil relocation kit. As for the Ic couplers the ones I got with the kit were very nice 3 ply couplers. The kit also comes with t bar clamps for all of the intercooler couplers. All in all I spent under 3k to get my kit up and running including siemens 675cc injectors , emanage ultimate, aem tru boost, and wide band.
I think the hardest thing about the install on this kit was fabbing brackets up to mount the intercooler. The intercooler itself looks like a quality peice, very heavy and solid feeling.
