Facet fuel pump is no good, you need a high pressure injection pump. plus make sure it's a turbo fuel regulator.

Fit an oil pressure gauge before you fit an oil cooler. Make sure you actually need one.

There is a bit of debate about the need for the centre main strap on a turbo motor. I'd also consider the verto rts clutch over the pre-verto
