Question Is there anything I could be missing?

Ok, I'll start off by listing what I have, and what I still need to buy for my set up. I'm trying to make this rebuild swap/single conversion as smooth as possible. I will be doing this swap after I return from a upcomming deployment. The single set up will be made to run off of pump gas.

What I have:
-Rebuilt engine with new rotor housings and carbon steel apex seals and ceramic coated exhaust ports with plugs removed. Also has large street port.

-Apex'i PFC w/ commander

-Peakboost VMIC kit with modified Koyo rad and hoses for the set up

-used GReddy T-78 kit just missing oil feed line and some other part that Rotary Performance is helping me get.

-GReddy throttle elbow

-Apex'i AVC-R boost controller

-CJ motorsports fuel kit w/ pressure regulator

-CJ motorsports dual fuel pump holder

-two Bosch 044 pumps

-Exedy twin plate clutch kit and the bearings it didn't come with, and a counter weight

-Greddy type-R bov

-new alluminuml AST

-Apex'i turbo timer and harness

-RE Amemiya wheels 17x8.5F+42, 17x9.5R+42


What I still need to buy:

-Fuel pump relay (found out I needed it after a bit of research)

-new 550cc and 1600cc both topfeed

-emissions block off plates

-the stuff I listed above with GReddy turbo kit

-air pump removal pulley set

-custom piping from turbo to throttle elbow

-maintenance stuff; oil, plugs, wires, new water pump, fuel filter, gaskets, etc


What else is planned:
-Removal of all emissions

-Removal of A/C

I think that just about covers all of it. I know I'm gonna need some kind of differential upgrade in the future, would any reputable LSD suffice. I'm planning for a Cusco 1.5 or something of the like. So until i get the diff upgraded I'm not going to use my nice wide wheels. I'd rather burn rubber than shatter my pumpkin. Any suggestions about what else I may need to consider upgrading or replacing would be appreciated. I hope I provided enough info

The car in it's current state has just a GReddy intake (I'll sell it later), SS Auto Chrome DP (which held up quite well). RP resonated MP, and RE Amemiya exhaust.

Depending on how much boost you are planning to run, you may want to get some larger preimary injectors (750 or 850cc). Also a catch can. Other than that, everything else seems fine.

What's the most you can get out of pump gas safely with the T-78? 15psi? Whatever the limit is, I plan run to run slightly under it for safety.
