Great choice on the turbo. Eclipse turbos are small.......... BUT, have a quick spool up time.
If ur asking for a suggestion, i suggest u buy a bigger fuel pump, and a msd sport compact ignition box. im a big fan of ebay, and i bet u can get both for under $300. Also, make sure u check online for the instructions on the apex-i vafc. the last one i installed, the instructions were in jap!!!!
belive me when i tell u, that if its incorrectly installed, it will give u worst performance than what u would normally get ^ ^

First question...intake as in CAI or intake as in intake manifold...CAI=out the door when doing a turbo install

T25...ahhhhh...go w/ a T3 .42/.48. T3's are a lil bigger
1g DSM BOV is a great choice
ive never heard of anyone using 460cc injectors...normally i hear of ppl using 450cc DSM...do you need a resistor box w/ the 460's?
Downpipe- remember you need a flange from the turbo and then another flange to the cat. many use flex pipe, its up to you whether you think you need it
HF Manifold....they are ugly but they work and they are cheap. dont be a douche and buy one on ebay...go to a junkyard. ebay=75 junkyard=35 and some manual labor
get a DSM SMIC...it helps ALOT
a/f gauges are garbage...dont waste the $40-50
Boost Gauge is a must have...
you will need oil lines which can be found on ebay from my man stealthmode
You need Vaccum lines
tap your oil pan
air filter
Mandrel Bent piping.
Also i dont like AFC...i suggest an ECU hack. but if AFC is all you can swing its better than an FMU

good luck, but def go for an intercooler of some kind...

what type of ecu hack should i be using, i think they are 450 cc, but i got them tested and they are running at 460cc... i dunno but i forgot to mention the intercooler, i have one off of a rx7 1992...

theres so many cpu hacks out there, its not really worth it. instead, find someone that can write a custom chip for your car. ive seen the hondata system for sale, make your own.

WTF are you talking about bro? ECU Hack=chipping your ECU. you are attaching a chip on the ecu and changing the given a/f and timing of the ECU..aka hacking it

And what kind of ECU hack depends on what year your car is. if its a 96 or above you will need to change to an OBD1 ECU i believe...OBD1=crome or uberdata....obd0=TurboEdit or Ghettodyne...they arent the easiest or most complex programs, but you need a wideband generally to tune them....its cheaper than a hondata system regardless.
