That's a great start but whether or not you're going to need fuel system upgrades depends on how much boost you want to run. The stock fuel system should be good for a max of 13-14 psi. Anything more than that and you'll need some type of upgrade. fd3s.net has some great information you should look at on exactly when you need to upgrade what.

Make sure you get it tuned right.

Have you accounted for tuning in your plan/budget?

What about maintenance? Do you have new, good, tires? Brake system all refreshed (rotors and pads)? Pillowball bushings ok? These are definitely things which should happen before modding the car.

yes, tuning is a must, all of the maintnence is done, the breaks are good, new pads a little while ago, rotors are fine, only 48000mi on it, so the bushings are still good., i am going to do an oil change asap as well and put in some new coolant.

Yeah this guy is right make sure you port the wastegate before you put the midpipe on or put a restrictor in the pipe. This is a must
