The best thing to do is to do ALOT, and I mean ALOT, of reasearch. Don't abuse your car. Don't abuse your wallet.

Some turbo kits come wid fuel rails and regulators, but id get the aem rail and adj regulator, you can run your stock injectors on them, and also you should upgrade your ignition system

Like everyone else said do your research and it will save you $$ and you will learn alot. Oh and if you feel like you have to buy a mod or two my highest recomendation would be suspension. Just please dont buy anything that u wont use with your turbo setup.

True... but the ignition system isn't necessary. OEM setup can provide ample spark for most street driven turbo setups. From what I hear, adding an MSD or similar setup, can lead to more problems and its usually best to stick with stock.

I've also heard the same, even know someone who is turbo had MSD and took it out due to problems it was causing. Can't be precise on the problems didn't get in depth that much.
