What about an intercooler ? Usually a "complete swap" doesn't include a smic. So find out if you'll be getting one. You also need and intake. Usually all you get before the turbo is the rubber tube and the maf.
You'll need to inspect the motor and replace things as needed. I would replace the water pump right off the bat. JDM motors have been sitting for a while, and the seals in things like the water pump don't like to dry out. You'll need an oil filter, and maybe new belts. Change the sparkplugs.
You will be able to use power steering, but you'll need to use either the sr20's ps pump, of your pump with a sr20 pump's pulley.
There a lot of things to change out and replace. Plus all the misc crap like hose clamps, zip ties, wire, soldier, shrink tubing, elec tap, etc.
