are you talking about a turbo conversion??
assuming you are you will need the injectors, manifold (heatshield if you want) intank and external pumps are a good idea you will need a fuel pressure regulator, x over pipe or cooler and piping air flow meter turbo front pipe and air box (if AFM isnt going into cooler piping)
turbo brakes and box/ strengthened box wouldnt be a bad idea either

turbo
injectors
ecu
turbo manifold
dump pipe
front pipe
oil water lines
intercooler kit or x-over pipe
turbo brakes will be a good idea or just get a new set of front rotors get them slotted and a good set of brake pads.
the n/a and turbo trannys are only marginily different so its no big deal really. just depends what condition your tranny is.
the fuel pump doesnt mater either as both are the same (im pretty sure i read this somewhere.)
but if you are gonna go high comp it will be a good idea to get a bosch 910 fuel pump.
Baset.

pumps are the same but, the n/a pumps are pretty worn by now and prob
wont be able to manage the higher load for long
Regulator is the same, both n/a and turbo require 250.1Kpa across injectors,
if you buy a non standard regulator then make sure it can bypass enough
fuel if you also upgrade to higher capacity pump.
Beware of gauges on regulators, all I have seen so far are plumbed the
wrong way...! See this item which covers the issue:-
