Mods to car... Anything I am forgetting?
Here's a list of what will be done to my car (hopefully by the end of the month)... Anything I'm forgetting? I know I'm gonna need fuel next and boost control. I'm probably gonna do the Manual Boost Controller w/ Needle Valves and a Supra OEM Fuel pump. Anyways, here's the list.
Custom K&N Intake & Heatshield (Thanks Damian!)
EBay 3 inch SS Downpipe and Midpipe
Greddy Power Extreme Catback
SR Motorsports tuned PowerFC (with commander)
Koyo Aluminum Radiator
B&M Short Shift Kit
Aluminum AST
Greddy Pulley kit (To rid me of the god forsaken AIRPUMP)
Silicon Hose Job
Anything else I should do while I have a few bucks to spare?

I would suggest adding an upgraded IC given what will be done to your 7.
I've also heard some "ify" things about SRs already tuned Power FCs. So you might want to think about arranging for some additional tuning if at all possible. Again this is just something I've heard so don't take my word as absolute.

I plan on getting one, problem is the money. I don't have the $900 (Extra) for the Greddy FMIC. I was thinking of piecing together a FMIC from parts off of Ebay, but that'd take awhile and the PFC is going to be tuned for intake, dp, mp, cb.

I'm aware of boost creep and that's why I included the manual boost controller w/ the needle valves. I'm not too worried about it because I planned on hitting about 15psi anyways (12 or so daily). If it gets too bad, I'll put a restrictor plate in between the catback and midpipe.

A boost controller is only as good as the flow capabilities of your wastegate. If you're flowing tons of air (like you will with open intakes and a MP), you can twiddle needle valves to your heart's content, and it'll still creep.
You'll also be encountering some nasty pressure drops by running that much boost with the stock IC, so your turbos will be working that much harder to get 12-15 psi. Which means more heat in the turbos, higher intake charge temps, etc. etc.
Sorry, don't mean to sound so down on your planned mods. It's just that you're throwing a whole lotta stuff at it in one attempt, and some of them need additional components to get the best power (and more important, reliability) out of them.

The IC thing is why I keep looking at ways to cut out a buck or two to get a Izusu NPR off of Ebay. As far as creep goes, that's why I said if it gets too bad, I'll just throw in the restrictor plate. It'll restrict exhaust flow enough to keep the boost creep down. I'm aware that I'm gonna have a lot of things left to do, and eventually, I'll have it all worked out.

If you want my opinion, i'd be looking into larger injectors and intercooler sooner. Also, a Power extreme CB would be the last exhaust i would ever choose. Very raspy noise, plus hideous to look at. Have a look at M2 duel or racing beat duel tip exhausts.

Well, I just bought a NPR intercooler and I've got the money so I may be doing the 1300cc secondaries. Would that be enough you think?
The Greddy PE I've heard and w/ a resonated midpipe it sounds better (in the low RPMs).
Mods would be like so:
Intake, DP, MP, Catback, FMIC, Koyo Rad, PFC & Commander, Silicon Hoses, 1300cc secondaries and possibly a walbro or supra oem pump.
The greddy pullies and upgraded AST can come later, since my current AST is in VERY good shape, and I have two friends w/ their stock ASTs that'll gimmie them for backups.
