how to put a s5 turbo on a 12a

hey guys i'm still new to the nitty-grittys on engine details. I bought a streetported 12a with a racingheader and all of the emissions taken off. I was wondering what all would be involved in putting a S5 turbo onto the 12a motor. I have searched and found a method of using a 12a and 13b flange and welding pipes between the two, but was wondering what else would be involved besides the obvious intercooler. Any help and espically photos would be much appriciated.

Boost prepped Carb/Draw through carb setup (or a EFI system $$$)
Upgraded fuel system
Upgraded ignition system (w/ locked distributor)
Assorted monitoring equipment
Oil Lines
Charge Piping
Downpipe

I'm sure I'm missing a few things
