4 months isn't bad. Actually the longer you take, the better stuff you get cheaper. I don't plan on having a boosted car for at least 6 months, but I'm buying pieces here and there when I find a decent price. My kit's almost done, here's my complete parts list so far:
MBC
Boost gauge
Soooo close!

Re: how long ....??????
Take your time. I was gonna say the 12a is a little small but if you got it all for 250 who cares.
All together I started researching (Yes Research someting some noobs don't know how to do on this site) in november one year and boost the following march so, 4 months for me. And yes I probably over spent a lttle the first time to rush things but now that I am boost I'm slowly upgrade (like the .60/.63 Igot the other day, and the bigger intercooler) over the year to my full build next winter! 300-320 hp here I come I just need, Rods, Pistons, Better manifold, and another block so that it ccan be built while I still drive my car.
Anyone Local to Ontario Canada got another DOHC ZC Kickin around?

Re: how long ....??????
I think I bought my turbo in January or February.
Here is my list so far:
TD04-13G turbo
HF Manifold
DSM 450cc injectors (w/clips)
Honda Resistor Box
1st Gen DSM BOV
Phantom Boost Gauge
Muffler + Resonator
Chipped ECU (uberdata)
I need:
Oil lines
IC
Charge Piping
Exhaust Piping
MBC
3 Bar Map Sensor
The longer it takes, the better prices you get.
