Look in the turbo/supercharger/nitrous section. There should be a list.

pipes, mani, turbo, downpipe, exhaust system, BOV, wastegate, oil lines, filter, instrumentation, tune

that's the Priority 1 list. Leave another $2000 for things that I missed.

well i know i have to get the turbo essentials but what do i have to do to the car that is different than a fuel injected motor? like what do i need to get for the motor to put the turbo on (bigger carb stuff like that)?

I'd imagine so, but I don't really know about tuning carbs. For comparison, I'm putting 550cc/min injectors in my tC. I looked, but can't find the stock size .... I'd guess at around 260 cc/min
