Rerturn lines, piping, and intercooler are your main things needed (obviously the hardware to go with it).. Where to get it depends on what kind of turbo you're getting.. You may need to have a custom piping job done. You can usually find hotside piping on most forums for pretty cheap, and have a shop or yourself hack and weld from there for fitment. Remember you get what you pay for on a turbo, inspect it well and personally I stay away from any ebay turbos (some people love them though)

what size turbo are you looking at? hot side stuff like said can be found lots of sites and the cold side stuff is not that hard to make up I got my stuff for the cold side off Ebay and fab. it up to fit. You are gone to need injectors and a mass air. is yours a 4.6 or 5.0 96 should be 4.6 so that make the hot stuff harder to find. Also a tune or a way to tune it.

Your going to need a wideband at the very least and a means to tune on top of fuel upgrades.
