almost there! im trying to talk my wife into letting me get a STS turbo system... and its working!!! if i nail this valentines day ill be golden. i was wondering what else (if anything) i would need to buy to complete the instalation? im guessing new injectors.... just the stuff i would need to drive it that the kit doesnt include. thanks for the help. 
Front Mount Intercooler...It's definitely worth it...It'll keep the detonation monster away....Just added insurance...You may also look into a meth kit if you're going to be uping the boost on the stock block...Any little thing can help man...I'm hoping she'll say yes..hahaha

.......What I got (which after boatloads of research seemed best for what I "needed" that wasn't included with the kit):
1. 42lb/hr injectors
2. In-tank high volume fuel pump (such as a Walboro, or in my case the Racetronix 255gph one with wiring harness already made.)
3. Boost gauge
4. Something to mnitor your engine and let you know it's not about to do something "bad". A lot of peple add fuel pressure gauges. I personally added an AEM wideband O2 gauge. Costs a lot, but cheaper than an engine. If I know the A/F ratio to the gnats a$$....no real reason to need a fuel gauge, unless you're curious what the pressure is.) On the flip side, just because the fuel gauge says you have good pressure...doesn't mean you're not running lean.)
5. Blowoff valve (if it's an M6.)
6. Colder spark plugs (NGK TR6 in my case)
7. Better springs (everyone says go for Comp Cams 918 beehive springs) I already have them since I have an aftermarket cam, but I'll list it here anyhow.
8. $$ for a new clutch if you're running the stock one(once again if it's a manual)...as it won't last too long after getting hit by 400+RWHP
A torque converter would be a nice "add-on" for an auto car, but doesn't need to be done immediately.That about covers it. Hope this helps.
