HKS manifold, a T25, any IC, a VW or DSM BOV, a ton of pipe, a saw and a welder, get to it.
Absolutely all this crap has been beaten to death. If you're going to customize it, then you may as well figure out each one of those for yourself, that is, afterall the entire point of a CUSTOM project... one which you better get real intimate with the details of... since there's no instruction manual and you gotta make it all fit.
A lot of setups are posted up top, and if everyone else tells you what to buy, then its not a custom kit, its what everyone else has already built, and you've learned nothing. You're much better off going custom... you're even better off going custom and knowing what you're doing. find a way to make each of those questions up there specific.
And FYI... poor and boost are not 2 words that go together. If you dont have the 3-4K to do it right, and another 2K+ to rebuild a blowup, think twice.
