Yes you need a custom exhaust manifold, i think proflow make one. also will need new exhaust system from turbo back. you need to run an oil feed line and a oil return line and depending on turbo it may require a coolent line. you will need bigger fuel system, if the motor is efi u will need injectors fuel reg and custom tune. Blow off valve and wastegate and intercooler and piping etc

Without being rude, if you have to ask these questions the job will be a bit big for yourself. PM 6BOOST, and purchase one of his kits. Then go down to your local performance shop and get them to do the fit Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
