After years of having no money and/or no garage and dreaming of an M50 turbo I'm finally in the position to start my build.

What I'm after is a parts list. I know specifics is down to trial and error but I'm trying to get the bulk of it together before i get the spanners out.

So on my list I have

M50b25 engine, gearbox, loom and OBD1 ECU (purchased)
ARP Head Studs (purchased)
Cometic .8 head gasket (is this the right size and are there any other cheaper options eg 2 standard head gaskets)
Holset HX35 Turbo (purchased)
Custom top mount Manifold (will make myself and upgrage if need be)
Intercooler and associated pipework (purchased)
Exhaust (will be custom made once I decide how the turbo will be mounted)
Oil feed for turbo (I take it I can mount a sandwich plate off oil filter or use oil pressure sensor tapping)
Oil Drain (planning on tapping the sump, but how high/low should it be?)
Walbro in tank fuel pump
Management and injectors (was considering the Miller WAR kit https://www.millerperformancecars.co...m5x-s5x-detail Is there any cheaper options out there)
External wastegate (purchased)
Boost gauge


Does this seem like a complete list? Any advice would be much appreciated
