Sense I'm on a budget what would be the most efficient order to buy the rest of my parts?

I currently have for my ka24det long block:

Bottom Mount manifoldSR t25 turbo w/ hks actuatormegan elbowmegan 3" downpipeI'm not pulling off the head so i have my gaskets I need which are(intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and valve cover)

I'm thinking when I get paid monday I'm going to buy the jgs ka24det t25 oil line kit, its 100 bucks, has anyone used it? And if not is there a good kit I can buy for my ka?

Any help is appreciated. :]

I did plan on getting SR 370cc injectors but I haven't found a good deal yet. I'm waiting. and the intercooler doesn't need to be bought yet imo..?

well maybe im wrong but you have to have all the parts to put the kit together so i would say buy it according to the best deals you can find on parts. As far as the oil kit its everything it promised. no problems here. Injectors can be found cheap, check the classified's on here. are you running the stock clutch? BOV? boost gauge? tune? these are all things to consider, while you could knock out a few i wouldn't. I am very familiar with the budget setup, took me almost a year to get mine goin. I did however splurge on a JWT ecu for reliability though. Check craigslist around your area, they have alot of great deals. I got a 2nd jwt ecu for 150 from there. Btw.. You'll love KA-T, I DO!!!!

Yeah I still need all that. I plan on running a newer Clutch(stage one or two?) and yeah I need the bov gauges and the tune. But I could get a jwt ecu but do they tune for specific parts like mine? I looked on their website but I only saw pre made ecus.. I may be wrong though.

Sounds good, except I wouldn't waste time or money on an sr T25. I guess do what you have to with what you have for now. JMO

How do you have a problem finding 370cc SR injectors?!? They can be had for like $30 easily.
