Default Just bought STS Kit, no bashing please

So I just bought an STS kit with the upgraded 67 turbo and BOV. Let me know if you guys think there are any other toys or things I should be getting to make this setup complete. I just figured I'd start a post for fun. Please no bashing on STS. And for the info it is my daily driver, no strip use.

Get a FMIC and also get a boost controller. Some gauge's are needed like boost, fuel pressure, and a air/fuel ratio would be nice.

air fuel is useless unless it is hooked up to a wideband sensor....and even then, by the time you notice your going lean...your motor will go kaboom before you know it.

I meant wideband setup when I said air/fuel. I don't know about some of you guys but I like to know whats going on when running a boosted car. **** can go from good to **** real fast with boost and I like all the info I can get.

Well, i've already got fuel pressure and boost gauges on order. Any suggestions for boost controller? STS is sending me their manual one but should I get an EBC or a dual stage? Any suggestions with specific ones? If you look at the sig you'll see the stuff i already have like the 42# injectors fuel system, ati twin intercoolers, etc. More input?
