Default Parts list for cutom turbo kit!

So im racking up a parts list for a custom kit. I wrote it all down but my friends dog got at it lol I want a custom kit because 1. i would like to try and save some cash after 2. i think making a kit would be a lot of fun and 3. I want to buy the parts in chunks at a time till its ready to be installed. I want to be making around 300 whp after tune and i want it to be reliable.
Parts i already have down are
Gauges
Intercooler
ic piping
MAF sensor (do i need this for a custom kit?)
Blow off valve
Wastegate
Turbo (but not sure what to go with)
Downpipe
Injectors
Manifold
Meth water injection
Getting custom exhaust made soon
Not gonna get clutch yet since car is fairly new

So far thats what i got just off my head right now but anything else you guys and girls can add would be great! Also suggestions on what kind of turbo and intercooler and etc would help too. And little things i will need like gaskets and stuff.

Tomorrow im gonna add on a list which will say where im getting some of the parts. Input on that would be awesome too.
Thanks for any future help

T-bolt clamps
AEM Dry Flow air filter
Depending on which engine management you go with I would get their MAP sensor and not use the OEM MAF.
Vacuum Block, it may not be necessary but make it looks nice.
Oil feed line
Oil return line
T-fitting for oil feed
Return fitting for oil pan
Return stainless braided hose
Oil Feed stainless steel braided hose
If you go to the track, drive you car hard all the time, and before boost I would highly recommend upgrading your clutch before doing the kit.

Okay what engine management should i go with for this?
And would it be cheaper to buy everything for the fuel like oil lines and etc. Or should i save myself the hassle and buy some type of kit if theres one out there?

if you can find out the exact sizes of all the elements that are used on the kit, and are competent in assembling them all then it could be cheaper. if you arent competent in that type of stuff, you might have a better piece of mind by paying a little more by buying them pre-assembled from a vendor.

as far as engine management goes. i'd suggest talking with the place you plan on taking it to get tuned to see what they are best familiar with and go from there.
