I'd order everything you can at once (the big stuff mostly) and then fill in the blanks...

I can sell you a set of low mount pipes for 500.00.. Puts the turbo up close, and then you can buy all the little items. Saves time and money..

haha dont be hating.. front mount would cut down on a possible oil pump failure, shorter and cheaper oil feed line. the rear mount is alot less work but the oil pump always scares me, but its goin on 2 years trouble free.
i say a front mount with a W/A IC tucked down similar to mine. that would cut down on fab work alot. and really short cold side piping.
wont have to worry bout lag with that converter anyway.

im goin to make out a nasty expensive list for him in a minute.

If your dead set on building one your self, a rear mount would be less time consuming. But if you want something a little more challenging build a log style front mount. I built the cross over and a Stainless Steel log for a front mount this weekend and I have every bit of respect for Trick, Kyle and every one else building these.

I answered your PM Chris. I think you would be best to go with at least my manifold and build the rest yourself if you want to be creative, and save a few bucks
