you will have to take off the cia. you could possibly use it on the turbo, but you would have to modify it.
you can keep the dules, but will have to use basically a backwards y pipe to split it from 1 exahust to 2.
i believe you will need a new maf
that is basically all you need to run the turbo, but the most psi you can put through it would be 4.4
get 42 lb injectors and a focus fuel pump and you can up the psi more.

how much boost are we talking about here....
and your internals are limited on horsepower, not boost.

you should be fine with the 42lb injectors, focus fuel pump, and a tune.internals will be ok at 300 as well.

read this. should take you like an hour, but well worth it.
