this is what you will need, regardless if its a SPI or zetec engine...
-A header for the turbo to attach too
-Turbo Wastegate if its not internal
-Blow off valve or recirculating valve
-Fuel Injectors
-Fuel pump
-Intercooler
-Intercooler piping
-couplers for all that piping
-clamps for the couplers
-Downpipe from turbo to exhaust
-May as well open up the exhaust, no point in turbo'ing a car on a stock exhaust
-Air intake
-Mass air flow or a diablo thingamabob
-Something to tune with, ecu chip, sct handheld tuner, diablo tuner, etc, etc
-oil lines for the turbo
-coolant lines for the turbo
-gaskets, lots of them.
...and I'm probably missing a few parts.
Things you will need after you turbo the car
-a new clutch
-a differential is not needed but will help with traction
-sticky tires, turbo fwd cars suck at putting down power
-possible a new motor, a few of us blew ours up after turbo'ing it.
