The basic parts you'll need to complete a kit with this turbo are an intercooler, blowoff valve, charge pipes and the rest of a downpipe.

However I've done some calculations, and a relatively conservative estimate already puts that particular turbo out of its efficiency range at only 8 psi. That means it won't flow enough air and will get really hot which puts more stress on your intercooler and decrease your power.

The only purely T3 turbo which will give you a decent amount of efficiency is a T3 Super 60. For your motor a T3/TO4E 50 will be the closest to ideal.
