Peter,
With relatively nice 5KTQ's pulling short dollars these days are you sure 
you want to go through with this?  I would bet with parts cost and your time 
it would be a wash, not to mention you (might) still have the underpinnings 
of a non turbo car; 4 bolt hubs, single puck front calipers, softer 
suspension, lighting, interior, instrumentation, exhaust?  The most 
important that you didn't mention I suppose is the braking system.  Make 
sure you get more powerful binders to go with the turbo.
Good Luck
Mike
