Uprated internals
Pistons, Con rods, APR bolts ect
Turbo with exhaust manifold, or custom manifold
Turbo downpipe to exhaust
Intercooler with all nescessary hosing
Possible injector setup, Piggyback ECU, remap.
Uprated brakes, chassis strengthening
The list goes on, can be done but not at a low budget

If your asking, then your not knowledgable enough to do it, so don't bother.......
People who do these conversions KNOW what they are doing so don't need to ask everythign about it. They might ask small details, but not everything about it.
Where do these people come from

To be fair though. You don't need to have any knowledge what so ever if you have the money to pay someone else. I know all of fuck all and have no mechanical experience but I still had a Corsa LET. But after my experience, I would only recommend something like this to an experienced person who can and is able to do the work themselves.

Nahh, but askign the question what will I need?
How on earth they going to deal with compression ratios etc?
If your not sure, your gonna ask about tried and tested kits surley? Like Courtenays, or regals bodge jobs.
If you had the knowledge to do it, you would just do it.
If your asking on behalf of a garage who your paying to do it, then be very scared!!!!! Iff i PAID someone to do it, id want them to know everything about turbo conversions lol.

What a totaly shit and utter bollox of a statement 
If its a hobby that someone fancy's getting into and having ago then good luck to them and ask as many questions as they like.
I learnt my self and asked LOTS of questions, even daft ones to know what I know now about conversions. Thats what these sites are for.
