if your going turbo d you should get :

Ycp vitara pistons
FJ rods
oem or whatever brand bearings
new water pump, belts, gaskets
arp head studs
oem head gasket

thats pretty much the build up of the avg vitara d16 build

I would also add an oil pump to N2HIFI's list. Alot of your oil cooling/lubrication depends on oil pressure. I would not risk an old pump.
