pretty simple. I assume your going to be SD mode.
TPS
IAC
ECT
o2
map
crank positioning
oil pressure sending unit
I guess you don't necesarilly have to have these but I recommend it. fuel pressure guage, voltage.
with a m6 you can delete all of the reverse lock out etc. through tuning but I'm not sure what you would need with an auto.
I'm sure I'm missing 1 or 2 others.

yep itll be SD. and the crank sensor, that goes in the bottom pass side of the block right?
Ill probably end up using a fast system or Holley dominator system.

I'm pretty sure you have to have a cam sensor.
I don't think you HAVE to have a knock sensor but it would be stupid not too. $50 sensor is some cheap insurance especially if you plan on running over 15lbs of boost.
