I'm curious to know ALL of what is needed because I want to TT mine in the future.

But before someone who knows what they are talking about asks you, I will:

Need ALOT more details... What is the car? motor? trans? desired hp? desired boost? budget?

This should get you started.

2 turbos of your choice (I recommend calling a sponsor to spec them for you)
2 wastegates (To match turbos, also see a sponsor)
Blow off valve
cold side piping and couplings/clamps
Intercooler* Optional but recommended
hotside pipings and manifolds
downpipe/exhaust
Oil feed and drain lines for turbo
fuel system..pump(s),injectors, regulator and lines (stock wont be quite enough)
2.5 bar or greater MAP
Some sort of boost controller(manual or electronic)
Vacuum lines

TH-400 will require a specific flexplate, and you'll need a turbo spec'd converter. Then add in a new driveshaft. If its a manual valvebody i'd reccommend an aftermarket shifter.

that much power you can forget a 10 bolt holding up, so plan for an aftermarket rear as well, and a few adjustable suspension pieces at minimum..Tq arm, lca's and phb.
That just a basic list...essentially take you projected cost and mulitply it by 2, thats how much it's probably gonna end up costing.

american express gold card and no buyer's remorse for starters lol

On a serious note: Get a plan first and know exactly what you want and what you are willing to give up to achieve the goals.
