I recommend:

- Getting a new MAF
- Making sure your BOV can be set-up to recirculate to the powerpipe so you dont release metered air
- Find your tuner and ask him what else he wants you to get
- Buy an electric fuel pressure gauge so you can watch your fuel pressure to avoid spikes or runnign out of pressure
- Find the pump and resevior that is made for your air-to-water intercooler and also get the piping to plumb it up
- your also going to need some welding on the intake piping to make the BOV work properly

There are a few other thigns you need but this is just what I pulled off the top of my head while I am sitting here at work...
