I purchased a T25BB turbo off ebay for $180 shipped. This turbo is used, but it looks to be in very good condition.
I also ordered the HKS manifold from optauto.com. I don't have the cash right now for an intercooler. Would it be worth it to go ahead and pipe without an intercooler, then repipe when I can afford one? How cost effective would this be? I'm not looking to run super high boost, so please no flamming about my micro-turbo decision. Thanks guys I know you boostmaniacs will steer me right!

sf's piping won't work with my setup, how much for just the intercooler?

? Have faith brotha. i was going to call them to ask about it but i never got around to it, it would be nice to kno ahead of time tho, you dont wanna get to working on ya car and all of a sudden have to remove a fan
$180 on turbo. $260 on manifold. I haven't thought about fm yet. Maybe a EF2 or emanage with extra injectors? Something simple, i'm not looking to make outragous boost. Any suggestions?

Good point. I've still got time to decide, its not like i have to plan this all out in a day. I'm going to shop around. I will probably end up holding parts until I can get an intercooler. My main concern right now is fuel management. I'm looking for something simple and light. Like the fmax MF2, or similar injector control units. Once I have a definate solution to FM, then I can decided on the intercooler. ANY help from you guys will be much appreciated.
