blow-off valve, and a few other other things. Do you plan on making this from scratch?

turbo
matching manifold
downpipe with flange for turbo and cat converter
flexpipe
wastegate or popoff valve
blow off valve
intercooler
lots of piping
silicone hose and clamps
some type of fuel management setup to increase fuel in accordance to boost levels (Vortech FMU is cheapest, Greddy rebic with additional injectors is better, standalone is best)

flanges for BOV and wastegate (if external)
oil return flange
t-connector for oil feed
hose for oil feed and return
hose for coolant feed and return (if the turbo has a water cooled housing)
upgraded fuel pump (if going into a civic, the stock Prelude H22 pump is fine)
MAP sensor check valve
boost gauge
air/fuel ratio gauge (for fuel tuning)
stage 2 or better clutch
LSD if not so equipped (or you'll be replacing one tyre each month if u drive it hard)
1 or 2 step colder spark plugs
MSD Boost Timing Master or equivalent ignition timing setup if you plan on riding the fine line of max boost on stock internals.
Turbo timer for convenience sake



if you plan on installing this yourself, get competent with a MIG welder so as to weld the oil return flange to your oil pan. this is the most reliable way to do so. also, you'll be welding more than a few of the intercooler pipes together, and also the downpipe and any bungs for O2 and EGT sensing.

if you need help, lemme know. i just did a junkyard turbo setup on my prelude. i am also now selling kits for cheap... they include most of the above, but some welding is required for assembly.

about $1200-1500. i'd have to look up all the parts for your application and compile the prices.

the turbo will be spec'd at your motor size and output for maximum performance, and rebuilt and spin balanced to ensure it's 100% reliable.

even tho it will be a complete kit, some major assembly will still be required, so it aint for any shadetree mechanic... but at least it will guarantee you have everything you need to make it work instead of shopping around for parts.
