you need a fuel adding system like power jets to increase the fuel volume with change in elevation. need to create some differant vent and vac lines. need a charge tube with an airbox that can be pressurized. need to block off the rave valves or use the latest fix. you need to run lower compression. depending on what your motor is at now. and how much boost and what type of fuel. you should be looking at running a 50% race fuel. also need a turbo oiling system. its alot of work but alot of people do it. also need some type of blow off valve for pressure releif. also need to weld a flange to the stock pipe to mount up to the turbo. will probly need new drivers as the stock ones will not hold up to the power. also need to come up with a good clutch setup to help with the turbo lag and put the new power to the ground.
