Sorry if I sound like a no0b and what not, but I wanna make sure to buy what I need. Hopefully for this summer I want to have my 00 ls motor turbo in my EG. All that I know is that I need to get is a turbo(duh), all piping, turbo manifold, wastegage, BOV, intercooler, and oil lines(wich I know nothing about). My questions are, what else do I need, can I run 7psi safe with stock internals(expect for crower cams), and stock fuel injectors? And I will be getting it tuned. Please I need some suggestions, I don't know much about turboed cars..
Boostin my 00 ls soon, please look...

yes you can run stock internals at 7 psi.....you will need to change out your fuel injectors though...look into dsm 390cc or 450cc from a stock turbo eclipse.....
i'd REALLY recommend replacing the piston rings if they've never been changed. and while you're in there, some ARP rod bolts would pretty much more than double the life of that engine.
replace the rings? if you are going to disassemble the bottom end i wouldnt even bother putting the stock pistons or rods in there.
anyway....yes a stock ls motor can handle a moderate amount of boost safely. i would push 250-275whp safely on a healthy ls motor.
dont cheap out on tuning, but it seems you have already made this a priority. you are gonna want to get larger injectors for boost.
