-A pillar or some sort of gauge pod
-boost gauge
-AEM wideband gauge (just started the install on mine)
-LSD
-Gears (optional, I'm going to give the 3.73's a try, then drop down to stock gearing like PH did)
-Lower control arms
-Upper control arm
-better/wider tires, I'm running Nitto 450's 275/50/17 in the rear, 255/50/17 up front, though some of the members on the board got me thinking about the 555's LOL
For exhaust, single is fine with this kit, really isn't a need for duals except for sound. I'm running dual Flowmaster American Thunders. Maybe get a nice Axleback muffler, like MRT, Ford Racing, single Flowmaster AT, Magnaflow, JBA, etc.

The gauges and pod are definitely needed, when I go F/I I'm going to use a total of five gauges: Boost, Fuel Pressure, Oil pressure, Oil Temp, and Wideband A/F. The more info you have about the car the better. At a minimum I'd go with a boost and Wideband A/F like rygen said. You may want an EGT, or Pyrometer, gauge as well to measure the temp of the exhaust gas entering the Turbo.
Down the road you'll want to consider beefing up the bottom end of your motor, things like forged pistons, rods, etc. if you are going to try to run more that minimal boost. New head studs aren't a bad idea either. You don't want a blown head gasket!

well if you gonna run high boost, your gonna want lower compression.. now a quick fix, and i dont know how valuable this will be , but you may be able to keep your top end (pistons and connecting rods.. ( our crank is already forged if im not mistaken) if you run a thicker headgasket with a better composite of metrials, (a gasket made for boost in laymens terms). the thicker gasket will lower your compression youll be able to run safer higher boost with less stress on the motor, and with arp studs youll be able to torque down that head so youll never get blowby (boosts worst enemy with stock gaskets)
