Default Getting setup for a turbo

Hey, Im planning to get a turbo in the future and i just want to know what supporting mods i need to get for a turbo setup. As far as i know its gonna require forged internals, heads, turbo cam, intake manifold, throttle body, tuning (New pcm or will the stock one do?), new rear, clutch, and maybe rebuilt tranny (im at 106k miles). Is there anything else im missing? Ill probably want to strenthen my chassis cause im shooting for close to 1000 rwhp when im done. Aything else i should/need/recommended to do?

Lots of these questions lately.... A LOT

Search is your friend Take a gander at our Boosted list up top. That'll give you an idea on what supporting mod's us boosted peeps are running to support our FI systems.

.....and like Deviate said a hell of a fuel system.

For that kind of power saying and doing is too different things, hope you pockets are ready for it.


Whose kit are you going with or is this going to be a custom job?
