Default Parts list for install

I've been accumulating turbo parts for a while, with the plan to install them myself. Well, I find myself in the bay area for a while, without my garage and tools, so instead I'm going to have Ryan Lesher down at Lesher Motorsports install my parts and tune my car for me. Since I want the turn-around to be as quick as possible, I just want to double-check my list and make sure I'm not forgetting anything obvious. The following is everything on my original shopping list except intercooler piping and oil/water lines.

· Megasquirt MSPNP2
· Air Temp Sensor & Bung
· Wideband O2 Sensor & Gauge
· Garrett GT2554R
· BEGI Manifold
· BEGI Downpipe
· 27" Vibrant 12800 Intercooler
· RX8 420cc Yellow Fuel Injectors
· Mitsu MD162219 BOV
· Spark Plugs NGK ZFR6F-11
· NXS Boost Controller
· 949 Racing Clutch
· Torsen LSD Diff, Axles and Driveshaft

My goal is 175hp, which, if Greg's 1.6L build is any indication, should come at around 9 pounds of boost. Anything obvious I'm missing? Thanks.

Oil and water lines? Intercooler piping?

Listed in my original post as the two things I know I still need.

Haha oops, read *most* of the paragraph then the list. I think the rest is just making sure you have all the associated hardware for the parts listed. Manifold/turbo hardware, hose clamps for T-clamps, etc. RX8 injectors are EV6's right? If so, that would be a different connector? If you are going to be using your laptop for tuning, it would be good to power it up with a power supply before hand, so that you can plug in to the laptop and verify connection.

Not essential but a boost gauge might be nice.

Rx8's are plug and play, I have them.

Get the electronic EBC from Diyautotune and let the MS2 control the boost.
