You mean the t78 turbo kit or just the t78 turbo?

If just the t78 turbo you have to get a manifold,wastegate,oil lines,gaskets,and custom make a downpipe.After you have all that your going to have to upgrade your fuel system like injectors, fuel rail, fpr, fuel pump, and an engine managment system like a power fc,haltech,etc... Going single turbo isn't too cheap to do.

Ok, you say you are "...going to buy the turbo by it self..." then you say "give me a run down of wat im going to need with the kit" So what are you getting...the turbine only or the entire kit?

If you are getting the turbine only you will need...

Manifold
DP
FPR
Ugraded fuelpump and inectors (also will need upgraded fuel rails)
3bar map sensor if you plan or running more than 17psi of boost.
Miscelaneouse oil and fuel lines.
I don't see an upgraded intercooler which you really need if you go single.

I just got done doing having www.GothamRacing.com do a single install and I provided the entire gt35/40 kit and still there are a bunch of miscellaneout things I didn't even think of. If I were you I would just buy the kit and save yourself the headache.
