A boost gauge is a must have
An AFR wideband DEDICATED is very nice and runs around $300
A vacuum manifold $20
Have the exhaust manifold coated with Jet-Hot $120
EGT gauge is nice
Oil pressure
Oil temp
Copper wastegate gaskets $20
Fully synthetic oil
Premium fuel from then on
1 step colder plugs
In all, I would say an additional $500 to $1000 in addition to the turbo kit will make for a very good looking, strong and reliable ride. The gauges really help with the piece of mind to see what's going on. Clogged fuel injectors, vacuum leak, etc can really be bad to not see it happen.

and to those that are worrying about the issues that do come up on the net most of these where all install errors that where able to be corrected over the phone. We stand behind our product and know the tC as if not better than the the next guy and are able to walk you through any issues and help resolve them. Give you a piece of mind we have shipped and delivered a lot of turbo kits for the tC far greater numbers than any other kit out there. To be honest the biggest flaw with our kit is our delayed shipping trying to stay up on all the orders. We think we have finally found a solution that will take care of this.

ZPI...you guys do rock. You know the tC in fantastic detail and it's simply amazing how much you share with this community
IMO, you can't go wrong in any way, shape or form with a ZPI turbo and their outstanding technical support.
