better manifold.
This might be just a matter of preference, but t3's on b18c's just dont work for me. have you tried looking at something bigger?
the t3 will top out before your redline, so you'll spool early, hit boost, and then be done with it by 5k or so... where's then fun in that?

The stock fuel pump is inadequate for the FMU. You'll need either an inline pump or a Walbro 255 HP in order to provide enough fuel pressure and volume with an FMU. With the FMU you'll also definately need either a missing link or check valves on the MAP sensor to prevent throwing a CEL and putting the ECU into limp home mode. As far as ignition timing you could either retard the base timing a few degrees at the the dizzy or use an MSD BTM or similar ignition retard device. Don't forget to run 1-2 step colder plugs to ward off detonation.

its all whatever you want really. t3/t04 is my favorite because of its balance.
If you enjoy highway runs or good peak hp, then you might want to invest in something bigger than that.
fuel pump and timing: you need what dude said.
just a suggestion: more gauges the better imo. its never a bad thing to know what's going on with your car at all times. maybe oil pressure gauge would be a good choice too.
good luck man.
