I want to turn my KA to a KA-T I know that i'm going to get a t3/t4 turbo, turbo manifold, Dump pipe, Intercooler with piping, oil feed line, fuel pump, new brakes, down pipe, blow off valve, high flow cat, am I missing anything else because this will take me a bit of time to create

injectors, intake, stronger oil pump, ect. a clutch would also be a good idea.

management? just a suggestion lol.... it helps from time to time. ps, oem oil pump is just fine.... just replace it if you ever decide to build the motor with a new oem one.

Stock oil pump is fine
Down pipe will need to be custom with most of the top mount manifolds out there... Not sure what a "dupe pipe" is though.
Fucking spark plugs.... and also check condition of the cap/rotor/wires
How much HP do you want? Will you need to switch to a Z32 MAF or a MAP setup?
Have you read the stickies for idiots over at KA-T.org? If not, get over there and read that shit.
edit: Here's the thread, best one stop foundation on KA-T infoz out there. http://www.ka-t.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6263
Never NEVER skimp out on:
1. Engine management, fucking get a RT ECU... Calum, BikiROM, Nistune... whatever.
2. Fuel, do it right... if not it can break your shit.
3. Spark, do what you need to do for strong spark.
+1 to what the others have said... Don't need much for the intake. Just a cone filter and an adapter to the MAF and you're good most of the time... Need even less if you convert to MAP.

Just a Check List:
Turbo Manifold
Turbo
Wastegate
Down Pipe/Dump Tube
Oil Feed/Drain
IC w/ Piping
1/2 Size Battery or Relocate
BOV
Fuel Pump
Fuel Injectors
ECU
N60 or Bigger MAF
Spark Plugs w/ Colder Rating
Wideband o2
Boost Gauge
Boost Controller
Vacuum Block (Sometimes necessary and most of the time the easiest)
Clutch
Missing anything?

I would recomend using SR20 370cc injetors (the ones with purple tops) and a Z32 MAF. then theres a bunch of places you can send your stock ECU to get chipped as Sleepy_Steve mentioned. other than that, just need turbo, turbo manifold,downpipe/dumptube, BOV, wastegate, IC or FMIC, walboro fuel pump, Boost controller, boost guage, oilfeed and dump lines, and a battery relocation kit, there will be no room for a battery up front if you plan to do a front mount intercooler because of the piping.. a Air/fuel gauge is also a good thing to have when your going to a turbo set up.

I dunno... I think 370's are kinda on the small side. The price point is kick ass, but for a t3/t4 that's gonna run out of duty cycle around like 225hp... to the flywheel. Even with an FPR, its a lot easier to just run bigger injectors. Like 550cc or bigger.

550cc?? lol what kinda HP is he trying to make. nothing was mentioned of changing stock internals. use your head.
370 is good i check it out i want 250hp it's going to be light weight its going to have stock internals i want to move the battery to the back on the driver side i found some web sites that told me how to do it already have the amount i want to spend on the turbo and ect which is 1500 also i saw the fuel injector with the purple top thanks im going to get those but why can't i use the stock ones just asking

+ the 370's Max out around 235whp safely w/o going past the 80% Duty cycle
Also you can fit a 1/2 Size Batt to prevent Relocating...
Look for S15 480cc Injectors, you can get a set for like $200, Those will max around 295-300 (@ 80%)
Also the N60 MAF's are cheaper and they Max out around 350-400whp IIRC

with 250hp you should be fine on stock internals. I would recomend doing a compression test before ever turboing an engine. which im sure is fine, but it's aways good to check.

A mustang weighs around almost a 1000 lbs more than a 240.
