    All depends on mileage. I'd do sparkplugs while you're in there. And a new serpentine belt if needed. Coolant replacement kinda goes with the install. I'd also highly recommend putting in the 90* elbow and vacuum line for a gauge when you install, even if you don't think you want it now (you can just plug off the line).

    What P/N sparkplugs, and what size is the vacuum line?

    Plugs are Denso FK20HBR8. For the vacuum line, match it to whatever size 90* barbed fitting you get. Search a bit in this thread on parts people found useful for that - the room to put that fitting in is tight so not all solutions work.

    I'd also suggest getting the port injector o-rings 23291-0V020 (they are more like isolation mounts) for the initial install. And manifold gaskets.

    I thought the Magnusun kit comes with all of this stuff, spark plugs, fittings etc? That was my impression, but I could be wrong.

    It comes with all of it, but not plugs. You're supposed to use your old ones if they're still good to go. Most of us just replace them while we're in there.
    Someone mentioned replacing the belt, but it comes with a belt due to the change in length, so no need for buying an OEM belt.
    The suggestion of plugging in the elbow for the boost and afe gauge is a great one....make sure to do that so you don't have to fight with it later if you decide to add gauges.
    My personal add to this is a new fuel rail system that one of the guys sells on here. It changes the fuel delivery from a U shape (going in one end and passing through to all the cylinders until the end) to a Y shape (where it fuels it evenly from both sides simultaneously).
    Also, look into adding a catch can. I picked up a small one off Amazon and you'd be surprised at the fuel/mix it picks up. I empty mine out at every oil change and it's always about 50% full. The down side of not adding one is that the stuff goes right back into your system and it doesn't harm anything, but it coats the fins of the intercooler degrading the performance of that section.

    Feel free anyone to correct me if I'm wrong everyone. These are all opinions. ps. get a custom tune from one of the companies also....SO much better than the factory magnuson tune. IMHO.
