Default What are all the things I should/can do with the engine pulled?

<center><img src="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/gallery/awe_rsk04/awe_rsk04_manifolds.jpg"></center><p>As if the K04s and other bits weren't expensive enough, I now understand I should do the clutch upgrade (so why not the lightweight flywheel, right?) and maybe even these exhaust manifolds.

So, since we're spending all my money anyway, what else should I throw on during the K04 install??

Default are you saying...

"If I believe they help"
or
"believe me, they help"?

Default ready:

Plasma cut the secondary firewall back, enlarge the tunnel to accept larger turbos.

install delrin/AL subframe bushings, and motor mounts (see DON for those)

relocate battery to trunk, use evacuated area for new airbox ***-ram air (ala' AWE).

Replace the stock plastic radiator core with a clandestine hardware tubular aluminum unit, and then you can put in HUGE intercoolers, and upgrade your radiator.

Get the SPP electric fan kit.

etc.
