Mate if you're doing a custom install, then you'll just have to sit down and nut it out for your own circumstances. You'll probably have to play it by ear to some extent as you do the install. There is no simple answer except for the obvious larger parts like oil and water lines, intercooler and piping, hoses and clamps to suit those etc etc. You could go through parts lists from various turbo kit suppliers for a start. Begi kits are pretty comprehensive...

All this is part of the fun! :D

You are basically asking for someone to give you a step-by-step guide on how to do your install and list all the parts needed!
