Rep Power: 279 So lemme get this straight. If one were to purchase a V3 Dezod kit (and do it right), you need the basic kit plus...
injectors, slim radiator fan, some form of engine management (E-Manage, PCS, AEM, etc), a boost controller and a better fuel pump.
Is there anything else that's necessary... or at least heavily suggested as far as purchasing of parts is concerned? Obviously a new clutch, but I'm talking stuff like his tranny cooler or head studs/block reinforcement.

Rep Power: 305 Engine managment and upgraded fuel system are a must! Everything else is dependant on how easily you want your install/future maintenance to be and of course self assurance that things won't go wrong (ie head studs/block reinforcment).
-Headstuds have shown to lessen the chance of blowing headgaskets and such.
-if you are running enough boost to actually make use of a block guard then you probably should have thrown some forged pistons/rods in there in the first place.
-boost controller is a good call but not needed unless you want to turn up the boost.
-i dunno if people use tranny coolers on manual trannys, but a clutch upgrade is really needed once you hit 200 hp/ft lbs.
Gauges are a plus to have so you can know what is going on. I think the necessary ones are oil pessure,boost, water temp and if you are tuning yourself get a wideband. Your grocery list will get bigger, trust me lol

here are pics of the fuel rail stud extenders we made. real simple and completes the clean install. all you have to do is drill out the wholes 3/8" and insert these onto the studs.
