The kit is all inclusive. You don't need anything else. You will just see more gains when you do eventually do other mods. Go for it.

The only thing you will need will be the driver mod.

You might want the Mongoose kit instead. Not sure how that Mangoose kit will work for you.

Like others said, kit is all inclusive. Only other things i bought were a boost pipe and boost/fuel gauges to keep an eye on things.

An intercooler wouldn't hurt either. I bought one about a month after I bought the blower.

I have that kit. It comes with almost everything. The only thing it was missing was a 4in coupler for the 90mm MAF to go on the Vortech inlet pipe. But thats only if you didn't order a boost pipe. You'll also need a Vac/Boost gauge and a Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio gauge plus some sort of mounting pod for the gauges. Autometer, AEM, Dynojet, and Innovative make good Wideband Air/Fuel gauges.

I was thinking of just buying the Livewire to monitor boost and A/F, gauges are such a pita...

Why the need for the gauges? Is it a peace of mind thing?

Vac/Boost gauge is good to have. It will tell you if you have a vacuum leak as well as how much boost your running. Good to have to check on performance, belt slippage, etc.

Air/Fuel gauge is critical in that it will show you if your running lean or not. Run lean and then boom. Some air/fuel gauges can be programmed to have a warning light come on if you run lean.
