You need:
Battery relocation kit
Intercooler
Intercooler Piping
Custom Exhaust Manifold/Turbo Header
External Wastegate(if turbo doesn't have internal)
Dump Valve
More piping for the turbo

^^Im not sure if thats all but w/e

Also, to make it all work right you need most of this if not all.

Bigger Injectors
Bigger Fuel Pump
AFPR
Custom Tuned PCM
Exhaust system to handle the turbo
Wideband AFR
Boost gauge and controller
Turbo timer???

And probably more. Your prolly not gonna do this anytime soon. Im still doing my research on it.

Maybe someone who as done it will chime in for me.

Does it matter what IC i get? depending on the turbo i mean. like does the turbo effect the Intercooler? and what how do i find out what piping i need?

Turbocharger
Wastegate
Turbo Manifold
Downpipe/Flange
Braided Oil Lines
Charge Piping
Blow-off Valve
Fuel Injectors
Intercooler
2 Bar MAP Sensor
Spark Plugs
Tuning

Among various other small things you'll find you need. 2.5" charge piping is typical. Get whatever intercooler you want. 3" thick is good.
