not to take over but after applying a turbo you will need to change your spark plug to either a higher or lower temp range, not sure which one, i forgot, its been a while but more boost will need different spark plugs, and yes you can put toyota spark plugs on honda, or 7m/jz plugs can or may fit in a 4afe 1mz etc.
EGT can be good for doing turbo to a N/A car
bigger exhaust for a better spool time for the turbo
SAFC, AEM, Emanage are good for a piggy back or stand alone to tune with the car, stand alone is the best way to go, or have your ECU chipped as well, yes i know some cars cant but some can.
also adding more power into your car will require better brakes, having stock brakes can not over take the high HP
just adding some to the list if you did not add and i dont want to steal your topic

nah dude it's all good as for the plugs: you want to go 1 or 2 steps colder that way they do not detonate the mixture beforehand. Spark plugs use a ceramic insert to isolate the high voltage at the electrode, ensuring that the spark happens at the tip of the electrode and not anywhere else on the plug; this insert does double-duty by helping to burn off deposits. Ceramic is a fairly poor heat conductor, so the material gets quite hot during operation. This heat helps to burn off deposits from the electrode. Some cars require a hot plug. This type of plug is designed with a ceramic insert that has a smaller contact area with the metal part of the plug. This reduces the heat transfer from the ceramic, making it run hotter and thus burn away more deposits. Cold plugs are designed with more contact area, so they run cooler. The difference between a "hot" and a "cold" spark plug is in the shape of the ceramic tip. The carmaker will select the right temperature plug for each car. Some cars with high-performance engines naturally generate more heat, so they need colder plugs. If the spark plug gets too hot, it could ignite the fuel before the spark fires; so it is important to stick with the right type of plug for your car.

Bracket in plce taking some stress away from the manifold to prolong the life of the manifoldso as you can see. it does not matter how "cool" the manifold looks, if you do it wrong it will crack, leak, and look like $#!+ soon enough.[/quote] Do you make these brackets? I wouldn't mind buying one. ;D

Hey does anyone know the specs on Turbo charging a 9th Gen rolls? I've been wanting to boost my 9th Gen but I didn't know what route to take. Any idea would be greatly helpful. Thanks.

hey i got u on that one, basicly from the same problem i had, i learned that you wont be able to go lower than the spring rating on the wastegate. only up so basicly 14psi is your low boost. you can only double the amount of the spring so 28psi is max etc etc in a nutshell take out one of the springs i think it might have two.
