Default turbo question?

I'am currently saving my money to buy a drag gen 3 turbo kit for my 1998 integra gsr. My question is what engine parts should I buy/change in order to run my turbo successfully? I want to run 11's when everything is done. I also plan on running my car on nitrous, which company do u feel is the best? And what do I have to change in order to run nitrous? Soory for all the basic questions, but I'm new to the car scene.
Thank everyone for their help and all help is greatly appriciated.

For 11's you will need to spend quite a few thousand dollars, and dont waste your time on nitrous....a healthy dose of boost is all you need. Youll need to build up your block with pistons, rods, and you should port and polish head and get new springs and retianers...and youll want to put it new bearings, headgasket, waterpump and timing belt while youre at it (preventative maintenance) and youre going to need bigger (at least 550cc) inejctors, fuel pump, the whole turbo setup, something to tune with...the list goes on. If you plan on running 11's youre going to have to know just a little more about what youre getting yourself into, so I suggest you do some research.

A clutch and LSD will help you get to the 11s

My suggestion..dont try to shoot for 11s just yet, just get the kit on and learn w/ your stock bottom end and try to fine tune it until something goes...then after youve learned how to drive w/ boost and a decently powered car work up to putting pistons and rods in your block and turning up the boost. Dont try to jump the gun so fast that you get yourself killed w/ too much power and speed.
