downpipe...that's about it really. Do you have the VAM? Sounds to me like you're pretty much set.

leave out the wiring harness and just do a pin change (3 wires) using your stock 2.3 harness.

Did you pick up the turbocoupe (if it was a 5 speed) flywheel/clutch/pressure plate? Id recomend it, i had to change to the turbocoupe setup (bigger than n/a) becuase my na clutch started slipping under load.

You need to upgrade the fuel pump to handle the larger injectors.

All the stock fuel pumps are the same. Upgrading to a bigger one is recomended though.
