This sounds like a perfect question for the turbo forum... are you sure you searched? I'm no expert but you'll also need an intercooler, intercooler piping, oil pan tap and oil lines for the turbo, turbo exaust manifold and downpipe, gauges, you'll prolly want bigger injectors and upgraded fuel pump and rail and some electronics... you've got options there some things do multiple functions... safc, boost controller, turbo timer. Hopes this gives you a better idea of what turboing entails.

Try searching using the terms "KAT" or "KA-T" on Google... as for here, you should find a lot of info in the turbo section, not N/A. Give it a shot over in that section =)

BTW moved to "Turbo"

You need...a Turbo, a Manifold, Oil Lines, vaccum lines, and waste gate for your basic turbo set up...

along with piping bent to fit your particular engine...fun stuff.

I hope your just talking about the SSAC Turbo Kits........not everything SSAC is crappy.........just dont buy anything other then ther 2nd Gen T25/T28 manifolds and there exhaust.........

Now...back to your question krash51491...... For a good setup you will need:

#1 Turbo
#2 Manifold
#3 Intake
#4 Oil Feed & return Lines
#5 Wategate
#6 3inch DownPipe
#7 3inch Catback
#8 Vac Lines
#9 Boost Gauge
#10 Bigger injectors
#11 Bigger fuel Pump
#12 SAFC or Tuned ECU

You dont have to have a tuned ECU......you can just use the Apexi SAFC and a wideband O2...and maybe a dyno tune.......but other then that...you should be good to go........
