Shaved &/or Laid

Turbo parts:
BOV - releases pressure when you shift so turbo keeps spooling, also allows you to get laid if you use a Blitz becaues it sounds sexy.
Wastegate - Just get an internal one, or pull one off a mitsubishi/ Garrett. If its good enough for porsche its good enough for a civic
Oil lines - Keeps oil moving through the turbo. Mostly because it spins at 34923423484573405645234805643054385 rpms, like a jet. People who even start the car before running oil lines between turbo and oil pan usually end up with an explosion under the hood.
Intercooler - you seem to know what that is, but for the record it just uses air flow to cool down the air thats already in the turbo piping.
Turbo Manifold - Replaces header or stock manifold, and instead of going out the car it goes to turbo / downpipe.
Downpipe - Runs to the cat (if you have one ;)) or to the exhaust and out the back of the car.
uh... its early so i could be forgetting something, but pretty much thats the basics. Turbo Timers and Boost controllers are also usually needed, and some kinda reinforcement to the motor, as well as low compression pistons, i think around 9:1 would do. Youll also need lots of pipes and someone who can weld or clamp them together with the little rubber pieces and such, or both. A/d gauge and boost gauges as well.
More or less, it all adds up.
