BOV
Gaskets
Oil return elbow
Spark plugs
T-Bolt clamps
Silicone connectors

As for a $50 turbo, I wouldn't use it unless you were VERY confident that it was in very good condition. You don't want to be sending pieces of turbo through your intake.

Those extras that Shifted listed are going to give you a budget-minded headache. Oil lines/fittings are expensive, couplers and t-bolts are expensive. The blow off valve can be had(1g DSM) off ebay for like $20 but then you will need a $10 weld flange. Don't forget injectors, but if you have junkyard connections then you might find some decent, cleanable ones for cheap.
Nice job on the budgeting though!!!

so you have a 2.2 also? you can email me at wangdog23@yahoo.com but you'll have to wait till I get my exhaust manifold which is like Tomorrow or this coming Monday and have my stock exhaust system back. I can't post any price up here, but it's fairly low considering the things you'll get. Email me.

If you're really in tight for money, you can do what I did for couplings. Instead of buying the silicone ones that are absurdly priced, you can buy ones at home depot for $4 each. Obviously, they're not quality, and not made for this. But they're cheap. =)

just a quick heads up, with junkyard turbo set-ups, you should really save up all the mone and do it all at once or else you are going to want more and bigger. My set-up originally cost me about $650 to build. I slowly wanted more and more. In the end I spent around $3000 on everything to make myy H/O engine tuned safely to around 450hp.

Most pvc pipe is rated for pressure far beyond any street turbo system would create. sure its ghetto as hell but itl do. ive seen a 12 second 2.3 turbo mustang runnin pvc charge pipes.
