Here's my TT set-up plan. Help me with any other additions please.

I would like to add that you should not reuse the Spark plugs, get a set of new ones, they are not expensive.
If you don't want to run test pipes invest in a set of High Flow Cats, I was very happy with my Ultimate Racing one.
I agree on the oil cooler, I still have not gotten mine and I start loosing oil pressure after about 2000 miles and have to add oil.
Make sure you get the right kind of oil
Instead of Radiator fluid fill it with Distilled water and water wetter, it does miracles.
good luck!

I wouldnt do a reflash becuase every car is different.

How is that even possible?
Not hating here, I just don't understand how this could work

i would HIGHLY suggest some sort of engine management. I also have the PE kit and found that the car knocks even at 5 psi. Sure, you could get away with it for a while, but eventually it will catch up to you, and it greatly increases your chances of blowing your motor. IMO, NOT WORTH THE RISK!
I suggest a UTEC, its worked great for me so far, and i rarely ever get knock. Im still fine tuning almost everyday with the laptop in my car, and im gettin real close to my perfect tune.
Also, to give you an idea of power gains, i put down 370hp/365tq @ 6.8 lbs of boost on a DYNAPACK DYNO w/conservative tune (a/f was 10.8). My mods are:
PE TT Full Kit (380cc & 255lph fuel pump & intercooler)
2 step colder spark plugs
hks ssqv blow off valve
Crawford Plenum
APS 2.5" test pipes
Grounding kit
STOCK EXHAUST
Blitz I-color boost controller
UTEC w/tuner & map sensor
Since then i have upped the boost to around 8-8.3 and have leaned my car to around 11.8 AFR, which i feel is still not enough. I just dont know if the 5lbs will be enough I think my stock exhaust is robbing me from alot more power and quicker spool.

As for the gentleman starting this thread, I personally think that, since you are going to install this soon, get the parts to run the water cooling lines, something I wish I had done, and put on a oil cooler right away. It will save wear and tear on your motor, and although it works without it, IMO it is a necessity.

Although I have had several dynos, none were direct comparisions of different exhaust alone.
