Default Final countdown -- parts checklist

Hey guys, I'm gonna be installing in about 2 weeks and I want to make sure I'm not missing ANYTHING. I want to get everything in order before I start tearing ---- apart... here's what I have so far:

turbo
manifold
IC piping
couplers and t-bolts
intercooler
vacuum lines
vacuum manifold
t's & brass fittings
wastegate
BOV
injectors (w/resistors)
oil lines (complete w/some JB weld for oil pan tap)
downpipe
dumptube
fuel pump
3 bar map
wideband
chipped ECU w/datalogging
gauges (boost, a/f, oil pressure)
bigger exhaust
bolts/nuts for turbo, DP, WG, dumptube
oil pan gasket
colder plugs

Need help on finding where to get a mesh screen filter!

Can anyone think of anything else I would need before I go ***** deep into my project? I read through a bunch of parts lists and can't come up with anything off the top of my head. This is my first setup and I don't feel like having 2 weeks of down time while I buy more parts... thanks.

Thanks, I forgot to add the exhaust gaskets, because I actually have them

I don't have an oil pan gasket, however (or oil... easy to get). Hmmmm... never bought an oil pan gasket. Will the dealer rape me for one? I'll check around the net and see what I can find.


and yes, colder plugs... thanks guys.

yea, im using autozone gasket, works great... also might wanna consider an egt gauge. Expensive, but'll save your engine.

I figured I wouldn't make a whole new thread... where can I get on of those 3" mesh screen style filters (not so much a filter since it sits flush on the turbo inlet). Home Depot FTW? That is the last thing on my list so it seems. Thanks.

WTF... nobody has these mesh screen filters... anyone know for a fact who would have it? I checked Home Depot, Autozone, Napa, Ace Hardware... I'm about to cut up my window screen into small pieces :P
