2-Boost controller 5psi low 8-10 psi high
3-44 pound injectors
4-Fuel pump offered by STS
5-Alkycontrol
6-DynoJet Wideband

8-STS Blow off valve
9-Boost, Pyro, and fuel pressure gauges.

I know I need spark plugs any recommendations?
Anything I'm forgetting?

NGK TR6 plugs. Gap them at 30. That way when they wear down the gap want get any wider that 35. PMed you on the tune.

I don't know what engine you have, so which turbo? GT67 or GT35?

Your list looks pretty complete for the first little while. Then you need a 408

Some kind of data logging software and maybe tuning software such as HPTuners or EFILive. Maybe plans for an IC when you go to higher boost levels.

Good luck with the install and enjoy the STS.

I was gonna say tranny, but you have that covered. Maybe a couple of credit cards. You will need them once you start buiding the bottom end or opt for another engine.

HPTuners is what I was going to go with, but after hearing some of the problems with the '00 ECM, I talked to Allen (Thank you Jerry2500) about a '02 ECM and just decided to have him do the tune too. I must say he is one of the nicest guys I have ever worked with. Later this year I will get an HPTuners and learn the program. As far as credit cards I don't need anymore LOL. Right now I'm just trying to save for the Trans. I do see a new Engine for the truck later in the trucks life. (Now that I own it) Woooo hoooo.
