pistons, rods, cams, valvetrain, turbo manifold, injectors, turbo, intercooler, intercooler piping, engine management, clutch, sleeved block, dyno time/tuning, wastegate, blow off valve, thats all i got off the top of my head.

First gotta make your car a non sh. so ditch the atts, and new tranny time. gotta fabricate some brackets to get the bish to fit.

in terms of turbo parts, cheaper is never better. try and work some deals on quality products. ask around before you just go ahead and buy something you will regret. take your time, shop around

how many miles are on your engine?
how much power are you trying to make?
how much boost do you plan to run?

a few, of the many, simple things you should know for yourself before you start shopping...

you'll notice a difference at 3 psi. I like to call a turbo a clock multiplier like on a computer cpu. basicaly your multiplying your power output.
