    Off the top of my head:

    Wideband
    Gauges (oil pressure, boost, and AFR gauge for me)
    Intercooler/intercooler piping (2.5")
    Downpipe, exhaust (3")
    Oil feed lines (-4an) and oil return line (-10an)
    Blow-off-valve
    Injectors
    Fuel/spark control (megasquirt is the most common)

        the intercoolers and piping are fine - the sillicone couplers those kits come with are usually shit though.

          Look for a kit with t-bolt clamps, not worm clamps.

                you need to get 3 or 4 ply couplers with t-bolt clapms. silicone couplers suck!!
                THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE AN S2K IS TOPLESS AND BOOSTED! GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!!
