Good stuff but you can get the job done for much less using Whiteline stuff.

I'm not certain yet that adjustable links are really worth it. you can get a lot of toe with the factory links, and I'm running -2.5 degrees rear camber with just camber bolts. Expensive stuff too.

Worth having if you run stiff suspension. Any bar will work, no need for Cusco titanium, although I happen to run the FHI CF/Ti front bar and a Whiteline rear. Just got good deals on them.

Definitely pay a visit to Nate at S-Squared on this one. Give him a budget and your goals and he will hook it up. $1500 will go a long way towards a winning setup.

Nate again. Dyno will be ready as soon as the track day is over. You won't need a spare ECU however, as you can have multiple maps stored in what you have. I, in fact, will be using this solution.

Skip the intake. On a stock turbo it is plenty efficient and makes no power, even with custom dyno tuning. Do the silencer removal instead.

I haven't seen any headers make more power than the stock ones, especially on a stock turbo. Notice how tuners with dynos (Cobb, Vishnu, etc.) don't produce headers or sell them. Shiv in particular has no qualms about using other company's products if they make power.

Not much to worry about brake wise. I'd go with Goodridge lines. Work great and are $50 less than Stopechs. Fluid? I like Ate SuperBlue but I might switch to Motul or Castrol

Racerwholesale.com for a harness. 4 point is fine, I got mine for $65. What seat are you running?
You definitely need boost and EGT gauges, other than that, everything is monitored by the ECU. I will have booost, EGT, oil temp, and coolant temp. might also add gear oil temp and fuel pressure (3rd most important).

I don't think I missed too much.
