Default What's actually needed to go twinscroll

Forgive me if this has been asked before but the search doesn't work well using my phone.

What is actually needed for a twinscroll conversion?

I know a lot of people change all the sump and dipstick but is it really needed?

Can I just swap the headers, turbo and down pipe then map it to suit?

Changing to a twin scroll turbo requires an up pipe and down pipe to suit (as the flanges are unlike that of the other Scooby turbo's, such as the one you currently have) and also equal length headers which due to the way their orientation and design you need a different sump as the one you currently have will be in the way of the twin scroll headers pipe work

Sump,dipstick and tube,oil pick-up pipe and windage tray ( no need for windage tray if running a cossie/RCM baffle plate).
