88' N/A Being made into a Turbo

I have a 1988 N/A Supra that Ive recently started working on. I found a CT-26 turbo off of one of the turbo models and plan to put it on my car. Im just wondering what parts I will need to make this project work. If anyone knows your help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, it can be done! I put a turbo on my '87 N/A about a year ago. Here's a quick rundown of what you'll need:

Turbo you got, you'll need a manifold too.
Full exhaust - don't even think of using the stock exhaust, way too small
Injectors - stock 440cc turbo injectors work fine
Fuel computer - Get a HKS PFC-FCon and harness if you can find and afford it.
Intercooler and piping - you'll have to make your own upper pipe, things are in the way if you try to use a stock pipe
Oil cooler - really needed.
Stronger clutch - a stock clutch will work, but is kind of on the weak side.
LSD rear end - the 4.11 LSD gives great highway passing, but a turbo LSD would be more suited to top end or long haul highway trips.
Replace the crank fan with electric. It runs much hotter afterwords.

There's lots of little things to do, but this is the major stuff. The results are quite impressive. It even passes emissions with flying colors.
