Convert to single turbo, use a 1st gen front cover, gsl-se oil pan, special adapter to fit a 13b engine in there or a gsl-se subframe. You'll also need to drill and tap the front cover for a turbo oil drain, mount the motor like stock, use the 1st gen water pump and a nice upgraded radiator. Haltech standalone would be a good choice and you'll at least need to upgrade to a walbro 255lph efi fuel pump.

Then just have a custom exhaust made, among all of the other little bits and pieces. I reccomend at least upgrading to gsl-se brakes and getting some nice rubber, i think respeed also sells a kit to use T2 brakes and 5 lug wheels.

You'll need to upgrade the rear end to hold more than 300whp as well, a ford 8.8 or 9" rear end is a popular choice. Granny's speed shop has the conversion parts i do believe.

There is plenty of other things to do but i think i outlined most of the stuff specific to doing a big single swap into an sa.
