You need at least a 2 bar MAP sensor. (as you will be running greater than atmospheric pressure.....) how much boost you decide to run will determine if you need a 3 bar sensor. (greater than 14 lbs boost?)
You will need larger injectors, to supply additional fuel for the turbo..... Or, some variety of aftermarket fuel management system. (tuning is cheaper I think.... still need the injectors though.)
You will need a wideband O2 sensor, and the ability to do some data logging to get the tune really dialed in. (laptop, 40 bucks for a cable, and free software....)
Might want to email/call Hemifever, and have a chat with him, for exactly what he would need to write you a good tune.

If you want to tune with SCT, you will need 39-42lb injectors and a 2 bar MAP. You can also use an FMU for more fuel (with stock injectors) and a BTM to retard timing, FMUs are a fairly crude way of doing it. You can also go with some sort of standalone computer like I did (I still use a BTM to retard timing), this will also require 39-42lb injectors, the computer itself is tuned with a laptop.
You need a wideband no matter what.

No need for a BTM with SCT, the SCT tune will take care of the timing.
