The list looks good.

Don't forget your diverter valve and pcv if you're going for more power.

There in the pipeline mate when I get it painted I'm thinking about getting the the gray plastics outside done in piano black the same as the wheels when they get refurbished but I want something different as I no the purist like the standard clear look but I may change my mind but i use to have 2001 S3 that I spent loads on it went to all the meets and bag shows but that was a few years back but looking to do it all again lol 45 but still feel like a spring chicken haha so next year I'll have a summer with it then decide weather I'm going for big turbo and so on but will keep you posted when things happen.
