Just to second some of the Chuckster's comments:
Fuel System: will (probably) need bigger injectors (which, if buying 2nd hand, should be prefessionally cleaned before using), and then rest of fuel system should be upgraded to suit: lift pump, surge tank and high pressure pump, bigger fuel lines, and fuel pressure regulator needed. Fuel pressure increases dramatically when going from NA to forced induction, so make sure all (flexible) fuel line is high pressure stuff.
Similarly, make sure oil lines are high temp/high pressure spec. By the way, fitting an oil return from turbo might include enlarging the existing oil return hole in the sump, to guarantee good oil flow.
As a secondary concern, consider moving the battery to the boot to give you more space to play with (e.g. locating the turbo or intercooler pipework) under the engine bay.
For turbo and exhaust manifold, consider HiPerCoating as an alternative to (or in addition to) heat shielding, or wrapping.
