I would say tuning and good contruction. I would just make yourself a simple log manifold. And there is nice t25 for sale on stlsr you could use.

Yeah your right I'm a hoosier... If I was putting a turbo on a 87 accord, i don't think I would spend more money on the "tuning" then the car is worth. He is just trying to have a little fun on the cheap. A fmu and missing link is not the right way to do it, but if not boosting alot it will work fine. I wouldn't recomend using it on your fresh built motor, but in this case it is the cheapest option. Although I am a hoosier so don't pay attention to me...

there own abilities and limitations for fabrication and implementation of basic prinicples.

oh, and realistic power goals/expectations.

I would agree with the posts above, tuning is one of the biggest things that people do not worry about when boosting their cars and it is probably the most important if you want your motor to last.. and as ben said above, try to keep realistic expectations.
