Well every application is different, as you probably know there isn't any kit for our car so you'll need to make/have someone make quite a few components. How much HP do you want to make? What's your budget? It all makes a big difference on what components you need.
At any rate, here's a general list of things you need and will need to make for a setup:
correctly sized turbo for application
boost gauge
oil drain/feed lines with fittings/flanges
BOV
wastegate (if the turbo isn't internally wastegated)
intercooler
intercooler piping
silicone couplers and clamps
custom made downpipe
custom made exhaust manifolds/crossover
exhaust/turbo flanges
wideband O2 sensor (not completely necessary but highly suggested)
powrtuner or hptuner (and the knowledge to use it)
larger fuel injectors
battery relocation kit
other random fittings, vacuum hoses, exhaust wrap, etc

cool thanks!
yeah i know i have to build a kit for my car, i need to know what size turbo i need and were to get the other things like the powertuner or hptuner, or the batery relocation kit for my ride! im not worried about the piping and stuff like that i can get stanless steel piping from a buddy

i want to get about 200 more hp if possible, im not worried about money i can start small and work my way up. but i first i need to stay in the mid-low range right now

The best thing for you to do is actually learn enough about turbo systems, how they work, what you need etc yourself. When you learn what is needed and required of the motor to make it so then you're ready for turbo.

If you want 200 more horsepower out of your car. Expect to spend over $5000.

torque steer? It's not that bad, just don't be a wimp behind the wheel.

When I had 200 more hp, I didn't have torque steer that was unmanageable. The tranny on my car went out when I was almost 300hp over stock.
