Default turbo-ing the 4.0

I have a '05 4.0 and have been looking into a tubro kit for it. It is an auto tranny so that wont have to be replaced. What do I have to change on the car to accommodate a turbo? I know the rear axel will have to be swapped out but what other than that?

With a turbo you should upgrade the valve springs to avoid float. I can't remember what springs but they were from a Nissan - if you check with Brumby over at Mustangcollective.com he can probably tell you. He has the quickest turbo V6.
