pressure fuel regulator, oil cooler, manifolds, oil suply to the turbo, oil return pipe, air intake pipe, downpipe, high capacity oil pump, plenum, PISTONS etc etc. Personlly i dont think is a good idea to only add a turbo!!

yeh thats what i thought, because some people say that its enough to add the in and out manifolds and oil cooler , oil lines and turbo and turbo carb..

I think you'll get away without an oil cooler. I know one guy on here who had a standard 1275 bottom end and only run low boost, i don't think he had any problems.

Most important thing is to read as much of the FAQ and beginners tech section as possible. Don't start this project until you have a really good idea of what's involved.

You'll get away without an oil cooler easily. Also, standard pistons if in good shape are also up to the job. The only difference being the N/A piston to be of the "slipper" type

Why would he need a different oil pump? If the one he's using is in good shape, and supllies sufficient oil than that's, well, sufficient :)

Whack the stuff on use it sensibly. If anything breakes, improve it.

142bhp and no air-to-oil oil cooler here.

that's about the only thing my car has that yours doesn't!! lol!
