rear brake set up, may aswell get that, or a rear disc convesion fuel metering head if you haven't got that.
Fuse box, and all hoses.

he needs a whole rs turbo, will be much easier to do if u have them side by side, there so many things you will need, things like, ecu mounting brackets, exhaust, boost hoses, water hoses, rad,fan, intercooler, metering unit, fuel tank, suspension, brakes etc...
