Headers, turbo flange, crossover, downpipe, downpipe flange, downpipe, charge piping, intercooler, inlet piping + filter, hose clamps and silicone connectors, BOV(s), Wastegate(s), vacuum line for BOV(s) and Wastegate(s), oil feed and return lines, return flange for oil pan, that's about all I can think of off of the top of my head.

is a snail a turbo?, oh and dont forget, injectors, computer tune, plugs, wideband, rear end, clutch/built tranny, I know there's more......... oh yeah, a helluvalota money to burn

oh and if you plan on boosting a little high you'll probably want forged pistons and a rebuilt bottom end w/ 8:1 compression and maybe some 6.0 heads......
