Default Rear STS turbo recommendations

What are the recommendations for A rear mount sts turbo? It's for a 98-02 Camaro a buddy of mine would sell it to me brand new(still in box) for $500ish but what do you guys think I should do first to be safe such as internal parts and all that good stuff I'm just trying to figure out what path I want to take FI OR NA
THANKS for any imput

Fuel and tune are the biggest parts in fi,you can run the sts on stock internals,not everyone that has fi has forged internals,are you building a motor for this?for 500 thats beyond a steal,

I have a 2000 Z28 with 85k so far it's pretty much stock but I'm not sure if I want to go NA or fi idk much about FI as far as cams heads and other combos that are good together so I'm just trying to figure out what I wanna do ha also with the STS turbo should I upgrade my radiator my plastic side resivior cracked so I just replaced it with a used stock one but should I go with aluminum? Or will that not be necessary sense I probably won't go any higher than 8psi til I build the engine more?
Thanks for helping
