    If you go with a 3" upper dp(off turbo) you will need to pick up a Monte Brake Booster.

    If you are not running an intercooler pick up a meth kit.

    Skip the LQ4 and add a modified 99+ MAF in a ported 97 throttle body.

    because youre asking questions you shouldnt have to ask if youre going turbo. you need to do a lot more researching before you commit to this or you're going to find yourself in a world of hurt very quickly.

    if the build is on an impala you wont need another brake booster as they come with the upgraded smaller booster from the factory.
    You dont need an aftermarket throttle body with a turbo setup unless your looking for slightly better driveability off boost(which wont mean much on a properly sized turbocharger for your application).
    Use a 99+ modified as mentioned or at least use a LT1 maf sensor. Most people are able to get into the mid teens boost wise before outflowing the LT1 unit. You will need to scan to find out when to upgrade.

    If your looking for project 00-05 impala, I might know where to find a lightweight LS with a roll cage, momo race seats, and a rear line lock.
