You'll need a fuel system. Pump, regulator and injectors. To manage fuel delivery and spark, you'll need either a stand alone engine management system like fast or megasquirt, or find someone who can and will burn a chip for your stock eec. The latter is getting hard to find in my experience as most tuners will tell you the eec isn't fast enough.

I prefer wheel dolly's because I'm classy like that.
