no experience but

turbo
intercooler
piping
brackets
harness
ecu
intake assembly
nuts bolts and whatnots
boost guage if equiped
knock sensor
af mix sensor


I am probably missing a few things but this should give a good head start.

peace

The Exhaust/ Turbo manifold is a MUST.

What are you going to use to control it?
You gonna keep it FI?
