turbo, intercooler, pipeing, bov,wastegate, manifold, ect. oh an i dont plan on useing too much boost for now since i dont really have to much funds to upgrade to bigger injectors an better fuel pump. But thats just for now till i make a lil more money. I read somewhere that your stock internals will still hold if your running low boost... hope its true... im sure im missing stuff but any info would gladly be appreciated

true but if you wanna run it safely you might wanna invest in a new fel pro head gasket, arp head studs. either way you need to get probably at least better fuel injectors. stock internals should be fine for anything under proably 10...your gonna need an oil catch can, fuel pressure regulator and at least a wideband o2...there is a lot more than what is glorified in magazines

You are also gonna have to get a better fuel pump.

another inexpensive option would be finding a used SRT 4 fuel pump from someone that upgraded. They don't flow as much as the walbro but they are a big jump from the 1st gens.

I just posted an srt turbofold forsale, you'd need to get a mattdog adaptor to use it though. Still definately the cheapest reliable option out there IMO
