FMU, Piping, BOV, DP, Injectors, Turbo Timer, gauges, boost controller, WG (if needed)...manifold, oil feed/return lines, a lot...and some $$$ too...no $$$=no turbo..

Agreed, depending on the amount of boost you wanna run you may want to get an external wastegate as that turbo will at the very minimum run 12 or so psi on that wastegate, and you may want to run lower if you don't have a built engine. An intercooler would also be a must, just for the performance gains.

Actually that turbo is around 7~8 psi stock actuated. The reason they boost higher on DSM's is that little black solinoid that is controlled by the computer to increase boost. I have used many 14'bs and t-25 turbos... not one has gone past 8 psi with a stock actuator.
