Looking to single turbo my FD

Hello all, I’m looking to single turbo my 1996 FD.
I have been looking online for a parts breakdown of everything that is required to do the swap, but I’ve had no luck. If I could get some info on everything required (little things that are not included in kits) and possibly links that would be appreciated. If someone has a itemized list or knows where to find one that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Just an observation........ if you are needing an itemized list to do this under the claim that you are unable to determine whats required, there's a high chance you will have much bigger issues during the actual process. It would be advised you either hand this task off to someone/somewhere competent or put forth more effort into determining what it is needed.

You don't need an itemized list since there are bazillion ways to execute a single turbo set up. You need to make the determination on what fits your budget and aligns with your goals. You could very easily spend 30k going single or you could spend 3k or even less. The spread is massive and there is no one right way but there are wrong ways.

Spend some time on the forum in the single turbo section reading. Spend some time observing whats in the "kits" that some places sell. Spend some time observing how the motor and car is set up to determine whats applicable and whats not when converting. Spend some time observing other people's engine bays to see how they did it and to decide how you would like to do it.

Everything you could possibly need to make a self informed decision on everything you could need is right here in the forum. You just need to spend some time reading.
