You actually can do nothing and it will still run fine with that amount of boost...but its better to change pump, injectors, etc.

probably need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator in order to be able to tune the fuel curve, but other than that, I don't think you need anything else other than the bolt on supercharger kit and a dyno tune after you get it installed.

you would NEED 24#'ers (s/c requires richer fuel) bigger pump, adj fuel press reg, and be able to tune it

bigger fuel pump or FMU, 24ers, adj. reg. BTM are a must if you want your engine to last. Look for a used unit and save they are all rebuildable. www.superchargeronline.com has forums on supercharges and tech articles, check them out.

you would probobly get away with just the pressure regulater, but if you got money might as well get some new injectors and you dont need a water pump at all, unless your having problems with it now.... dont need a fuel pump, unless you wanna run more boost then that, thats my 2 cents on the subject...

you dont need anything other than a supercharger to run a supercharger, but if you dont want to damage your engine you need a way of getting more fuel, and timing control. your car should make close to 300hp at 6psi, 19#ers are not bigg enough to support that hp, and you will want a small pulley to add more boost in like 2 weeks anyways, because 6psi in not inpressive for tolong.
