The 99.5 turbo is not bigger.
That being said, grab the turbo, pedestal, five way manifold, intake manifolds, intercooler pipes, and down pipe. That should pretty well convert it to 99.5 specs. Not really any need to replace the computer or HPOP.

I assume you're aware that the ebay link you posted is a van turbo. If you're planning on something bigger like an H2E and the like then forget the 99.5 conversion. The way big huffers don't use most of that stuff anyways.

I converted my early 99 with a van turbo and ATS housing. It is a great setup, I love it. You don't need the intercooler pipes or down pipe though. If you're planning to go to bigger injectors, you'll want to grab that HPOP as well.
