Well allow me to rephrase my prior statement. In terms of modifications to the motor you don't really need to add anything.

Here's a decent list of pre-install things to take care of:
  • Make sure ALL maintenance is current (hoses, belts, timing belt, water pump, brake pads, tires, etc.)
  • If not new or nearly new, then new fuel filter (regardless of #1)
  • oil change and new filter will happen with turbo install,
    start using premium gas now
  • Compression and leak-down tests have already been done, right?
  • as "lean" a coolant mix as you can stand (flush coolant system, see #1)
  • Redline water wetter and a good water pump lube/anti-corrosive
  • new thermostat
  • new radiator cap
  • new 1 heat range colder NGK plugs
  • new NGK plug wires
  • spray penetrating oil on nuts and bolts that will need to be removed
