Alot more then that. you need a turbo to start with, turbo mount/oil drain, custom exhaust, change your dme, chip set, custom oil lines, custom water lines, turbo water pump and more. it's a big list. search it here, it's been covered before.

no...there is a drainage tube made of rubber. You dont need to replace it. It runs down from the sunroof and drains out from under you battery. It connects to a metal 'nipple" under the a-pillar. It's a pretty common problem...just re-attach it so it drains all the way through.
