i know about the the tune, boost controller, i have glowshift gauges ready to be purchased, i have a weapon R Short ram intake, so all i need is downpipe, mani, dump tube and MAF bung then
here is a list of things my friend gave me.
The things I would buy for the turbo install:
=1. A T3/T4 hybrid turbocharger. You don’t need to pay anymore than $300 for a good turbo.
=2. A intercooler kit with all the pipe, clamps, hoses, ect. Get a bar and plate design intercooler not a tube/fin. I got my kit from CX racing.
=3. Any BOV. I used a cheap turbo XS, but I’m going to use one off of a 1G DSM.
4. Fuel injectors. I used a set of 450CC DSM injectors out of a 98 GSX eclipse.
=5. I used a equal length, mandrel bent, stainless manifold.
=6. A 35 or 38mm Wastegate.
7. You don't have to have this but a boost controller. I got a manual boost controller made by turbonetics off ebay and it works great.
=8. Ide get a good set of gauges. I got 3 from glowshift for about $120. I would get a boost/vacume gauge, a oil pressure gauge, and a volt meter.
9. I would invest in a good clutch like a ACT 2600lb.
The rest of the setup depends on if your going to tune it yourself. If you are then get:
1. A good wideband. I use an AEM UEGO and it’s the best out there.
2. Some way to tune the car. I used a moates ostrich 2.0 emulator.

You won't be able to use that intake. Infact you will probably end up cutting the section with the MAF bung to use. I'm taking about an intake for the inlet of the compressor. Also get a log manifold considering you probably wont want to pay $750+ for an equal length mani considering the quaity of the other parts.
Considering you want it done cheap, you should have got an internally gated turbo. That would cut out the cost for the external wastegate and the addition of the wastegate bung on manifolds is usually $40+.

Did you just post that you dont need to pay more than 300 bucks for a good turbo?
Someone has actually posted a picture of someone who got a turbo from ebay and the housing was GLUED together!...
Tell your buddy with that integra to bring it
You dont use the same intake that you have on the engine now.. You have to route a new intake.. They are not the same.

This would be a good reason why you might want to buy a complete kit. You will most likely regret jumping into this without any knowledge of what it takes to boost your car.
If you have the time. Id say piece it together yourself. You will get generally more satisfaction from doing so.
Im mid process of repiecing a kit to replace some aspects on my hahn kit.
This includes a custom individual runner header, bigger turbo, a Water to Air Intercooler, Fuel Pump.
The injectors are fine for now, as I was reassured that the ones included could handle 350+whp.
However, Im going to be getting alot more done.
As much as I like the instant boost of the GT28RS, I dont get that "whoa" feeling anymore. Id like more of a top end pull, to achieve this I need a larger turbo, which in turn means some lag.
The only challenge you should face, is your charge piping which will have to be custom, and this can be quite tedious(spelling?).
Good luck!
