reverse headers
Turbo
piping
BOV
Wastegate
Intercooler
Battery relocation kit
Bigger fuel pump
Bigger injectors
SCT and a dyno Tune

and a boost controller and a turbo timer will help

and im sure their is something im forgetting but thats just the basic you can do alot more

you don't need the battery relocation kit, there's more than enough room in front of the engine on the left to put the turbo.
and you also don't need the bigger injectors and focus fuel pump. you do if you intend to up the boost past 4.4 psi

you also need:
oil fittings
oil line
some kind of air filter for the turbo

u need a battery relocation kit so you can run the turbo piping to a front mount intercooler

i was thinking he wanted to run some boost like 6-11 psi and then he would need FP and injectors

Well since we are already talking about turbos and such is it possible to mount an intercooler like this and then have a functional hood scoop?
