then

scan tool (powerlogger)
fuel pump hotwired (fullthrottle.com)
adjustable wastegate
adjustable regulator (fullthrottle.com)
Turbo Ta-33 (precision turbo)
alky injection (http://alkycontrol.com/)
60 lb injectors (fullthrottlespeed.com)
ported TB
3 ich downpipe (GBodyParts.com Online)
cat back exhaust (TR Custom Parts 84-87 Turbo Regals, Olds G-Body Cars, S-10 Blazers/Pickups)
after market headers if you can find them (poston or atr)
Up-Pipe same thing if you can find it (postons or atr)
87 ecm conversion
turbo tweak chip with WB correction
lc-1

good trans and a good torque converter

that should get you there

And from what I understand it was only about 340cfm so the TA33 will help. It helped my old 85 tremendously although I went with BlueTops (36#) instead of the 60's. A good torgue converter and exhaust will wake it up too.
