well your headers and intake wont work anymore if u get a turbo kit. As far as all the stuff you will need, just get a turbo kit from hahn race craft or star they come with an intercooler and exhaust manifold plus all the hoses and shit you'll need. Then of course you will need to get the esentials like boost guage, controller, upgraded fuel system, exhaust, SAFC prolly and im sure theres more.

honestly, judging by the way ur original post sounded, i doubt ur gonna want to install a turbo. there's a lot more than just bolting on a turbo. then once it's on ur going to need to keep on it to keep it tuned. good luck with ur decision.

Moved to N/T-turbo conversion.

For just the turbo kit itself you are looking at between $3,000-$3,800 (Stage 2 obviously). I got my kit for $3200.00 total with the larger t04e turbo option and HKS SSQBOV. However, I am using a Star Kit - a Hahn Racecraft kit with similar options (upgraded BOV, FMIC) will run you in the neighboorhood of $3800.00.

As Jay said, you cannot use the old header and intake (maybe intake you can connect to turbo), so sell those. Your catback exhaust will be great, and aid in the function of the turbo quite well (quicker spool up, more topend) so good thing you have that already.

While it isn't required that you have the following modifications, any N/T (w/turbo) will tell you it's a safe bet you should get the following also.

* Larger injectors (I suggest 310cc if you're staying around 9pounds of boost)

* Vortech S-FMU. This is a complete fuel pressure regulator replacement and will allow you to manually tune your static fuel pressure and fuel curve adjustments. If you're getting the larger injectors this is a must get.

Because you're automatic transmission a tranny cooler wouldn't be a bad idea also.

Good luck. Remember to run a search on this site also if you have more questions, it will work wonders.
