Upgrading the stock turbo

So i want to replace my stock turbo with FP red, FP red turbo's don't come as a "kit".
I currently have : AMS down pipe, AMS test pipe, Tomei exuast, AMS filter, AMS intercooler with upper and lower piping. the question is, is there anything else i have to upgrade before installing the FP red?

Thank you.

Injectors, fuel pump, boost controller, probably a BPV depending on how much your going to be boosting, at the very least crush your BPV.

Hopefully by AMS filter you mean intake?

Damn…AMS'd out huh? NICE! Prob gonna be putting down some power so keep a clutch in mind shortly down the road. When you get tuned try to keep that WTQ around 360-370ish or else plan on buying internals shortly after. If it doesn't spool quite to your liking you could throw some cams in there….nice parts bro!

You can hit those numbers on a fp red, but you will need a built engine. I have the following...

Ball Bearing FP Red, ported, 25psi wga and hiflow oil feed line
FIC 1100cc Injectors
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
AEM Fuel Pressure Regulator Kit
AMS CAI
AMS UICP
AMS LICP w/ TiAL QR bov
ETS 4" IC
AMS Widemouth DP
T1R Resinated TP
Tomei Expreme exhaust
Grimspeed 3 port
Clipse tuned on 94 octane @29psi, tapering to 27psi, making 423hp 382trq. I'm on stock internals and plan on doing alot of track days so the tune is conservitive.

Also i fried the clutch so the following is on its way...

ACT HD 6 Puck clutch kit
Streetlite flywheel
AMS CMC kit

well you arent going to hit any higher then 450hp 380trq without a built engine. Well you can hit those numbers but it wont be for long. I'm at the "safe" limit of the engine without it being built and theres still tons of room for the FP Red to keep going. I could have my tune be leaner, more timing and more boost, but where ill be doing HPDE days, its safer to keep it where its at and im happy with this setup. The car pulls like a raped ape.
