You're pushing 2.2L, so you might want to go with something a little bigger than a straight T3. You could easily run at least a T3/T04E, and you shouldn't have any problems with a T3/60-1 either.

You could run low boost with that turbo and have it run pretty well. You would need an adapter flange for that inlet though, since it uses a 3-bolt flange. He's giving you the downpipe elbow, so it should be pretty easy to fab up a dp. It looks like a standard T3 flange, so you could run any T3 flanged manifold, and then swap in a larger T3 flanged turbo later on if you want.

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.
