Default Needing advice on turbo lq4

Hello all....

I am buying an lq4 and matting that to a th350 and that will matched with a 3.73 gears in a 3400 pund 78 camaro.... im hoping to use the stock pcm to run a ebay twin turbo set up that i bought brand new for 500 bucks of a friend a cx kit......I am going to run 5 to 10 pounds of boost..... lq4 will remain 100 percent stock if i can get away with it..... IS there anything that i should get besides injectors and a tuner ? i have 3800 bucks to pay with that includes purchase of motor... any advice for a first timer turbo and ls swaper?
