The list I have given you is really the essentials to having a proper turbo kit. Some parts you might not need and can get away without, but its stupid to not have them if you know what I mean. turbocharging isnt cheap, and if it is, youre doing it wrong.
Depending on how much boost your going depends on the parts. If it is over 8 lbs and the motor was rebuilt stock you need to upgrade your headgasket(reccomend eagle). You will need arp head studs, catch can, did the kit come with all the oil lines intercooler so forth. There's a whole lot. You need to tap the pan for a return. There is several threads with this in it try searching with different headlines.
Im sorry but the information you have given is not necessarily true. In the aspects of forced induction, lbs or PSI is not really any indication on whether or not someone has to "do" something unless you are dealing with the stock map sensor which only reads up to 11psi.
If his motor is rebuilt, I suggest oem head gaskets over anything. If you are 84mm go golden eagle which is still a bored out OEM. Head studs are a nice thing to get while you are putting everything back together, but not neccessary. You can buy brand new oem head studs, and DO NOT REUSE YOUR HEAD STUDS, contrary to what people on here will tell you, because they stretch.
