Rough draft...setup...thing
Here's my rough draft of a setup I've come up with. It's a rough draft because there are some blanks where I haven't really decided what I want or will wait to see what kind of deals I get before I decide. I'm not building it for a good 9 or 10 months so I'm going to slowly collect the parts over that period of time so I can try to get the best deals.
Going for ~200-220 whp @ 8-10psi
14B w/ O2 housing
JGS Mani
Custom 2.5" DP w/ flex pipe & O2 bung
WB O2 sensor & AFR guage
<2.5" race pipe or free flowing cat> *is a race pipe really THAT loud?
FM turbo single-outlet exhaust
<insert oil feed & drain line kit here, inexpensive kit or DIY>
Emanage blue
boost guage
SMIC
RX-7 330cc or Supra 305cc injectors
ACT Extreme Clutch & Fidanza Fywheel
<insert MBC here, possibly DIY>
<insert BOV here>
<insert turbo timer here>
<insert fuel pump here, if needed> (I'm told the the stock pump will probably be fine for my goals)
One of the main reasons I went with the 14B is my DSM friend is replacing a lot of the crap in his car so he's selling me a good condition 14B, O2 housing, J-pipe, SMIC and lower I/C piping for $175. I'm planning on getting a MIG welder so I can get some practice in and hopefully be good enough to fab some of my own piping by the time installation time rolls around next summer.

My car has a race pipe and an Enthuza Budget Turbo exhaust and the exhaust is a nice sounding loud. With the cat in place, the exhaust is noticably quieter.
My friend has a Spec Miata and his car sounds very loud. So, for N/A you want the cat in place, for a turbo setup, no cat is liveable.
It sounds like you have all the bases covered for a 200rwhp car. I don't really think you need to waste money on a turbo timer.

It's still a perfectly legit goal to aim for, though, as there are things us DIYers could learn from a really efficient build.
