Vacuum Hose Being Replaced
Cars in the shop right now and I'm getting the oil pan, motor mounts, and the vacuum hoses replaced. The labor is the same since they are already in, so is there anything else that I need to replace while they are there??

Here are some items I would consider:
1) Fuel Pulsation Damper!! (they will leak fuel when they get old and above the engine block is not a good place to leak fuel! $120)
2)OMP lines ($60) - they get pretty brittle by 50-60k
3) Test and/or replace the solenoids ($60/ea)
4) New engine wiring harness ($800) - gets pretty brittle by 80 or 100k. It's a real bear to troubleshoot if the wires have any problems. Many guys replace the harness during a rebuild
5) Ultrasonic injector cleaning (RC Engineering, Marren Injection, Witchunter), new injector o-rings
6) Fuel Pressure Regulator.

List of Mods
Car has about 95,000 miles; motor and turbos rebuilt around 65,000. I have a down pipe, PF cat back, Pettit intake, Pettit AST, boost and egt gauges and I just had a Fluidyne installed. Suspension includes Eibach spring, Tokico 5-way adjustables, toe links, and trailing arms from Pettit. Fuel Pulsation Damper and OMP lines are being replaced. I didn't ask the shop about the wiring harness and they have did an excellent job of informing me of the repairs and the things that I need to change ahead of time. It's matched almost everything that I've seen on the forum. This is the first that I have heard about the wiring harness and I will ask them about the intectors, and solenoids. My next purchase will be a Power PC, free flowing cat, and an intercooler. I'm stuck on the intercooler and cat. Choices are ASP from www.rx7store.net or Pettit cool charge III. All cats seem to be the same. Any help here would be great. I don't want to relocate the battery.
