ex. manifold (cheap or expensive whatever takes your fancy)
turbo (size and output)
wastegate (size and spring)
piping (charge pipes)
plumbing (oil lines and fittings and vaccum lines)
bov (optional recommended)
intercooler (optional recommended)
fuel (fmu, vafc hack, injectors, pump ect.)

that's just to start with a basic system... you'll probably end up with more stuff.

good cheap turbos can be found at junk yards on svo mustangs and turbo tbirds, they come with garret t3 turbos and a friend of mine picked a good condition one up there with the manifold for 100$
