-Turbo (& Turbo install kit)
-Larger Injectors
-Piping
-Tuner to allow for boost
-BOV
-WG
-Intercooler (optional)
-Wieband Boost meter

Might be leavin a few things out, but nothin major. Just make sure you don't push more than 8lbs of boost. The transmissions are only capable of handling 10psi (stock), and when it shifts, it throws 2+psi during the shift, so 8 is your max or you'll blow the trans right out the driveway.
The only bolt on system I am aware of for our trucks is the STS (around $4500).......and I will never do business with them again. It is possible to fab your own system, but you will spend countless hours and money getting it tuned properly IOT recognize boost.
