GTX conversion

After months of searching I have finally found a GTX engine for my 323, apart from the engine, manifold, ecu, and wiring, wht else will I need to get hold of to do the conversion, Also will I have to uprate the intercooler arts is there any alternative parts I can use,, or from alternative cars etc. Anyone out there who has done this conversion, have you got any advice, notes or anything to help me complete my project? Sorry to bring the subject up again,, Cheers

Intercooler - Any intercooler will work, commonly used is the VR4 cooler if your on a shoestring
Intercooler Piping + Silicon connectors
Air Filter
Uprated Clutch (Daikin/Exedy)
Belts, Oil (motor and tranny), Filters, Seals
Brake Pads + Disk Machine (unless you already have good brake pads not oems)
BOV
Boost Gauge (if you want to keep an eye on boost levels)
Turbo Timer (if you dont want to have to sit in the car for 30sec to let it cool down)

errrr thats all i can think of atm.

Also would do a full custom exhaust (or a custom pipe to link to your existing exhaust if money is tight)

1.8 Gearbox (if you already have a 1.8 engine dont worry about this)

If your car has to have a CAT you will need a lambda sensor in the downpipe (92 on GTX already has one)

AFM (should come with engine package)
