The nikki carb bolts right up to the 12aT manifold. Here's the list I made of everything that needs to be done to make a normal n/a 12a into a turbo. The holley pump will work fine as long as it flows good and puts out at the very least 20-25psi, the higher the pressure the better.

-TurboII Exhaust manifold - oval bolt holes, grind exhaust path 5mm inward on each side.
-TurboII Turbo
-TurboII Wastegate
-Nikki(stock) Carb w/mods done to handle boost
-Either a 12aT intake manifold or use an exaust manifold that places the turbo farther from the engine or else it won't fit.
-Turbo Hat for Carb
-GSL-SE Fuel pump
-Rising rate Fuel pressure regulator
-New fuel lines
-Drill hole/put in fitting in engine front cover for turbo oil return line
-T fitting where the oil pressure gauge gets it's reading from for turbo oil feed line
-Lock dizzy
-Downpipe for exhaust shop to connect the rest of the exhaust to

ok most of the things you will need are answered by coldy. You can use a holley. but you need to remember that for each lbs of boost you will need one psi of fuel pressure. So you need to pay attention to the specs on your pump to make sure it suits your needs. I just got a GSL-SE fuel pump to simplify the install.

Actually you can use the stock intake manifold but you have to do some serious choppping on it. I have a modified manifold, Turbo II Set Up and a 12A/13B exhaust fraguali that may help you out.
