I've been gathering parts over the last couple of months and I just wanted everyone's input. This is my first build and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I am open to any suggestions or criticism so please help me out.

DSMlink v3
Wideband
Boost
Oil pressure

FP 4" intake
FP race manifold
FP 76HTA (Green XL)
PR recirculated o2 w/ Tial MVS wastegate
PR 3" down pipe
Thermal cat back, converted to a true 3"
VRSF FMIC kit
Tial QR BOV
OEM composite head gasket
ARP headstuds
Hallman Pro boost controller

Walbro 255 HP (rewired)
Fuel lab 515 AFPR complete kit.
FIC 1150's


So that's what I've got so far. I know I'm missing something but I can't put my finger on it. Again, I'm open to any and all suggestions.
 
I already ordered a timing belt kit with water pump and BS elimination. All OEM parts. That's the first thing that is going to get done.
Is there a check list or something for other maintenance items such as bushings etc...

Thanks for all the replies. You've helped me out a ton. Looks like I've got a lot of research to do.

Get rid of the PVC valve, just run both lines from the valve cover into a catch can with a breather filter. An now you got an extra vacuume/boost nipple on the intake manifold witch is good for a lot of things. An then you dont half to worry about getting oil in your innercooler and piping, oil can still get in with just a catch can going to the intake pipe by oil vapor. That's why you don't want to put it back in the intake.

Okay that sounds much better, especially since I won't have to tap into the intake.

In the first chapter of the Haynes manual there is scheduled maintenance, as well in the owners manual.
As for bushings I'd say get the car up on stands and start at the front and work your way back. Keep the tires on to check your hubs and tie rods. Aside from that a massive set of adjustable pliers should help you gauge the life on other ball joints. Try to crush them (just a little) and check for movement. Don't take the quality of the boot as they're good or bad.

OH! and engine mount bushings!!! Those are key!
