Default Help a newb choose the right stuff for downpipe /exhaust / charge pipes

Ok, first off I am working with an old A20 engine, in an 86 Accord.
The motor is built, and I am using a T3/T04E .60/.63 57 Trim turbo.

I have the plain old 4 bolt discharge, so I assume that something like this is the right flange:

Mild
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T3-Hy...QQcmdZViewItem

The size of the opening (not sure of the correct name) on the turbo is actually smaller than 2.5, but I figure it will be easiest if I am building a 3" dowpipe to just start with a 3" flange. If it looks like that won't work it's no big deal for me to use 2.5" and step it up to 3" after the tight spots.

I am definitely unsure of what material I should buy to build a downpipe. I am going to have my neighbor help me tack this all together, and then take it to some friends who own a welding shop (but wont help with fab work), and have them weld it all for me.

Any pointers for where to buy bends for downpipes and exhausts? I am planning a 3" stainless system from the turbo back, but I just don't know the differences between all the different types of metals.

Also, is there any problem ordering the generic 2.5" ebay charge pipe kits?

they have the nice clamps already, just gotta weld my bov flange on that sucker.

Any pointers would be helpful.... thanks
