heres a start, probably missing a bunch of stuff:

460cc rx7 injectors
3sgte 2 bar map sensor
3sgte manifold
3sgte oil pan (50-75$) + KO racing -10an adapter
crapo ebay t3 adapter
garrett t3/to4e 46 trim with .63 exhaust housing
custom down pipe +DP flange
tial 38mm wastegate with 10psi spring
oil filter relocation (with the canton block adapter, transdapt filter relocator, and custom -10an stainless braided lines)
and of course the associated oil feed and return lines for the turbo.
a ebay FMIC + piping, couplers, and clamps
and a SAFCII for the noob (100-150used) or emanage ultimate or AEM FIC for more experienced.
Walbro fuel pump
Gauges

Its seems as tho you are looking to run an Ebay T3, so these are the parts you are going to need:

460cc RX7 injectors. (100$)
Gen2 map sensor (50$)
Ebay T3 (200$)
Tial 38mm wastegate (200$)
Ct26 to T3 adapter (50$)
Gen2 3sgte exhaust manifold (50$)
-10AN weld bund for YOUR CURRENT 5s oil pan. (buying a 3s oil pan just to run an adapter is USELESS IMO) (5$)
-3an or -4an 12" oil feed line with an oil restricter (50$)
-10an oil return line
Custom DP (150$?)
Upgraded clutch (400$)
FMIC (100$)
IC piping and couplers (150$)
Neo or SAFC2 for tuning (basically the same thing, nothing wrong with either) (150$)
Walboro pump (100$)
BOV of your choice (200$)
Oil filter relocation
Intake and filter
You can use your 2.5" exhaust, np there.

These are the BARE minimum parts need to run a T3 setup on a 5s below 10psi, and you are still looking at around 2000$. These prices include doing all the work yourself, no gauges, and I didnt even factor in dyno time. Which will DEFINITELY be needed since I didnt factor in a WB.

My best advice to you is to keep saving or buying parts on the side. And when you finally have all the parts mentioned, save up for a motor so your not left stranded if your high mileage 5s decided to take a crap. You can pick up a 98+ 5s long block for usually under 1000$.

If it were me doing it. I would buy all the parts that I needed, then save up another 2000-3000$ for the unexpected (that includes a blown motor).

Before continuing to buy parts, Do a compression and leak down test. No sense to keep buying parts for a motor that is already on its way out.

GL with you build man. The 5s T3 setup is A LOT of fun.
