Just thought I would share with everybody my accumulated parts thus far:
The manifold, downpipe, and turbo arrived today!
I have a concern about the turbo...it has a touch of side-to-side shaft play, which I hear is a bit normal for MHI turbos (this is a small 16g), but it also "whirs" a bit when spun. A high-pitched whir. And occasionally you can hear a tiny bit of a grinding sound when you spin the shaft. Maybe I'm just paranoid. I'm trying to decide if I should rebuild it or not.
But anyway...cool huh?
Total spent so far: $634, including shipping, for turbo, manifold, downpipe, injectors, fuel pump, AFPR.

I'm sure somebody has already said it, but if your paranoid, rebuild it
theres a couple of threads about how to do it, and apparently its not that hard:
