What more stuffs do I need for GReddy T78?

Hi
At the moment I just have a Apexi Power FC but I have plans to buy me a GReddy T78 turbokit and build me a big FMIC and new rad.
So what more do I need? I have make a list:

-New Fuelrail
-1600cc Bosch Fuel Injector
-Bigger fuelpump
-Fuel Regulator
-HKS SSQV BOV
-Water temp gauge
-ETG gauge
-Boost gauge
-Boost controller
-Haltuner (I think thats the correct name of it)
-Better spark plugs
-Magnecor plug wires
-Resistor for the PFC and the injectors

Do I need all this stuffs or is it overkill?
At the moment I do not have afford to engine rebuilding with seals street porting and so on.
Can I run on 15 psi with this mods?

Are you planning on tuning it yourself? If you have a power FC you probably want Datalogit, probably a little easier than the video camera technique some guys use.
You will need lots of time to install everything, and lots of patience.
Some people have Wide band O2, not necessary to have a t-78 but assists in tuning.

Don't waste your time with the HKS SS bov, they work ok with stock turbos.. but a T78 is too much turbo for that little thing. Consider an HKS racing, Greddy TypeR, or Tial Bov.

what is a haltuner? is that something for a haltech unit? i also have the twinpower on my car. if you dont want that than a msd ignition box or the jacobs unit. if you get the datalogic dont forget you need a laptop or palm pilot to datalog with. also mid pipe, or high flow cat, catback. boost controller, maybe do something with your ast also. if it is stock either get rid of it or get a new metal ast. you might want to carry extra tiddie whities in your car when you are done making the beast....you know for the "passengers"ahem.....

Haltuner, look at www.haltech.com
But I meant Wide band O2, I mixed up haltuner with Wide Band O2

OK, I have plans for running at 350 hp this summer.
My economic situation are not wery god if I decide to buy the T78 kit so I wonder wich stuffs are over kill for 350 hp?
After the summer will I fix the engine and buy the other parts to get some more power.
One cause that I mayby do this single turbo upgrade is that I have some problems with the stock twins.

the t-78 kit part would be over kill for 350.. everything else wouldn't hurt to be added but you could go with a smaller turbo and get the results you want; at a cheaper cost and quicker spool.
