First off ... don't listen to me, I don't even know if you are talking about a toyota.

You need

1. A Turbo, size depends on engine
2. 50 Litre propane fuel cell
3. Impco 425 mixer and type E regulator and shutoff
4. custom fabricated adaptor plates to match the mixer to your intake
5. A wastegate (blowoff valve) size depends on turbo
6. An intercooler, spearco you need to custom build piping and plenums
7. 4, 6 or 8 forged pistons depending on your engine
8. new set of piston rings
9. windage tray (depending on engine)
10. Ignition control system, MSD?
11. shot peened conencting rods (engine dependent)
12. New bearings and seals
13. new headgasket
14. aircraft quality rod and crankshaft bolts
15. Boost gauge.
16. a whole bunch of mandrel bent pipe and rubberized connectors
17. a mig or tig welder
18. various wrenches and tools
19. two to five sets of extra skin for all your knuckles
20. an engine hoist
21. new plugs
22. new wires

There's already quite a lot of information on the world wide web on how to build a turbo car from scratch.

I'm sure one of the car mags have already discussed this matter many times.

The key is to do your own research and come back and ask specific questions.

Cause we all know what the question is next - "How much is the whole project gonna cost?"

If you really have to ask such questions, that means you're not ready for it yet.
