wow thats a lot of dollar signs.
motor mounts can be found at gofastdepot.com.
lotta stuff you could do about the manifold, but most well done ones will have a t3 flange so a more upgraded turbo seems more beneficial if you're looking just for power.
Get 72 lb. injectors.
Ditch the body kit, sleeper is the best look

For tires go with the drag radials for the track, then get some street legal ones for daily. BF Goodrich tires are good as hell.
Ebay sells a fidanza lightweight flywheel with a exedy clutch, but if you are going to be running a big turbo you will want a act lightweight flywheel. If you have the 8 lb fidanza flywheel then you are just going to rip through gears, the act flywheel is about 3 pounds heavier so it will prevent that. Also, the clutch that comes with the kit is stage one, you will want a stage 3.

are you on G20.net....check that place out and you'll find quite a few helpers there. Im a boosted P10 as well and you better have extra money for when you take on this job. Also, if this is going to be daily driven you just need the rear motor mount to be filled or poly because otherwise the ride is just sooo harsh. But like I said hit of G20.net and you'll get a lot of useful information out of that site as well as here. As for where to get some of your stuff, ebay is always a good place to scout prices and compare products

for the motor mounts @ gofastdepot are for B13 or B14's, the G20 motor mounts different the front and rear mount on the crossmember can be modified to fit, for more info on how to go to G20.net, there's also a group buy on all 4 mounts, for those go to the store on G20.net we need more buyers to complete the quota.

2" drop or even 1.5" will have you riding on the bumpstops unless you go with CSK's and even then, sketchy at best. Try to find some Hyperco Gen II's or Road Magnet springs, they are a good bit stiffer than most aftermarket springs with less drop.
Ditch the 17's. 16's look good on a G20 but the tire selection is sh*te. 15" wheels might not be as blingy, but they're lighter, have better tire selection, and the little bit of extra sidewall will help with handling and the ride.
Hold off on the brakes (my personal opinion). The brakes could very well be the most expensive single upgrade you put on the car, and the ones you will get the least advantage out of on the street. Try some slotted rotors, braided lines and EBC Greenstuff pads on the stock hardware, you'd be amazed. If you want the look, paint your calipers red or something.
And my last bit of useless advice-wait on the DET and all the engine stuff. You'll be impressed with how strong the DE is relatively stock. JWT Pop-charger, header, 2.5" exhaust and the time-honored ignition timing tweak should be all you need for a while. If you have a friend with a dyno, stick some adjustable cam gears on there but if not, don't bother.
Man, these kids these days. A G20 for free, for your first car? At 15? I had to save my pennies working at Burger King to buy my first car, an '86 Pulsar NX in all its faded-paint, carbureted single-cam goodness.
You kids have it easy.

You are too young to be spending that kind of $$$$ on a car. make sure you have funds for college too. Also, I would be alot cheaper buying a car with all that stuff already on it. Countless people buy stock cars for lets say $5000, then put another $5000 into it, then turn around and sell it for $7000.
I have seen fully built 10sec capable DSMs for sale for $8500 that were turn key ready and daily drivable.
You don't need to worry about his age or driving experience. It will take a long time for someone his age to put a car like this together.
On a side note, I've been driving for as long as you've been alive.
Ur right about that. I plan for this build to be long as hell. After each upgrade drive it like that for a bunch of miles to get used to it. Also the car is for free from my dad.. So thats 0 bucks for the car
