No, a stock non turbo (M type) tranny will not hold up the power.

Let's see...

It kinda sounds like you are just buying what parts you can find. Do lots of research, there is tons of information you can find on this website but you will have to search for it. Starting threads to start asking questions isn't going to get you anywhere.

I would suggest learning LOTS more before you buy anything else.

Please read the FAQ under the area of "turbo swap". That will get you started.

Dump the car or dump the parts - you're getting into something either you can't afford or you can't put together yourself.
If you happened to slap everything together, you're probably going to kill the engine in a very short time.

Sorry, but that's reality.

If you're going to talk about your parts and expect replies, at least KNOW what you got!
It's a GReddy "TD-06SH" turbo, NOT a "T-6".
The turbo is capable of putting down 400, if not more, hp.
Your fuel injectors cannot support that kind of power.
Your fuel pump cannot support that kind of power.
Trying to run that turbo with the stock ECU is not recommended.
Do you have a wastegate to control boost for this set-up?
The stock IC is not recommended to run this turbo.

A stand-alone EMS is highly recommended.
I like Haltechs.
We're talking $1,000+ just for the hardware.
Expect to pay several hundred more to get it tuned by a competent tuner.

So, this is what you're looking at...
Min. $500 for a FMIC
Min. $100 for a Walbro upgrade fuel pump
Min. $200 for bigger fuel injectors
Min. $100 for an external wastegate - if you still need one
That's approaching $1,000 right there.

Add $1,000 for stand-alone EMS, and you're looking at two grand right there.

Now, you're still using the non-turbo drivetrain, so that's all going to break once you start to push into the 300's hp.
Min. $100 for turbo trans
Min. $100 for the rear diff
Min. $100 for the turbo driveshaft and both rear axles
Min. $200 for a turbo clutch kit
Add in labor...
That adds another grand.

So we're at $3,000.
Unless you got a bunch of mechanics that owe you big favors or stupid enough to do this for a case of beer?
