Get a FCD instead of a missing link. My first and only exprience with a missing link = broken ring lands. Some members here have had success, but most of them will say something very similar to what I just said.
Also, some sort of fuel management or piggyback system. I'm running a vortech S-FMU. Great quality, works awesome. You will need something to get a good fuel curve for the added boost. There's plenty of options out there, you just have to find one that's good for your build and budget.
Oh yeah, if you have a 36" long oil feed line, you will need to get a longer one to use with the adapter if you choose to go that route. I had to order a 60" from summit. Just some foo for thought. Good luck.
I CONTRIBUTED TO THE WIKI! ah... turbo. I love the turbo, the boost, the speed, the sound. and its all better when you do it yourself. cheaper too.

If you get a 12:1 FMU or an SFMU you can run the stock injectors for a while at low boost (6-7psi) until you sort out a better fuel management setup that gives you the ability to tune. Since you don't seem to be rebuilding for boost you could run that for quite some time.
Like others have said, don't bother with the missing link. The filters clog too easily and cause problems. Get a FCD.

Thanks for the responses. Today I bought... 38mm wastegate, fcd, log style turbo manifold, oil filter sandwich adapter, and another oil feed line! Im just planning on running low boost 6-8psi for a while until I actually get enough money together to do it right, I never had a turbo car before and im just excited to feel this thing. haha

What will you be using as far as gauges? At the bare minimum I'd say a boost gauge and a good quality wideband to keep an eye on your a/f ratio to keep you boosting for quite a while.

The timer will show you A/F ratio but without a wideband O2 sensor, you will only get narrowband readings. You will need something alot more accurate than that. The best thing about a wideband is that you can upload your fuel curve to a laptop and see where you get lean spots and just how lean those spots are.
