-Dont bother with the megan housing, get an o2 dump. Changing the fuel rail isn't necessary. Cam gears are not necessary.

-If you have bc 272's, then why would you bother switching to kelfords? it's not going to be any different.

-Although koyo is legit, many people run the STOCK rad without issue. why do you want to change it?

-Why do you want to upgrade the oil cooler? It's really only needed if you're road racing where oil temp may become an issue with a lot of power.

-ditch the hks bov

-you should get at least 1200-1300cc injectors, and you'll probably need a double pumper

-You'll need a new clutch not far in the future

Ha dam someone already said the same thing.
Cam gears won't be necessary
Get bigger injectors then the 1000cc you don't want to put too muxh duty cycle on the aftermarket injectors.

Double pumper ftw!!
