ARP = ARP headstuds. Replacements for the stock headbolts that hold the head, HG and block together. Stronger than stock and cheaper!

RC 550's = 550cc fuel injectors, as opposed to stock D/B-series 240cc injectors.

Defi-Link Boost and EGT gauges = gauges for your turbo setup (duh). Boost displays how much boost your turbo is creating, and the EGT gauge stands for Exhaust Gas Temp., which reads from a probe installed in your turbo manifold and tells you how hot your exhaust gases are getting, a good indicator of how rich/lean you're running as well.

PLX Wideband = a unit that determines your exact air/fuel ratio, whether it be under boost (when your turbo is spooling and as a result you go fast

) or in Vacuum (turbo's not creating any boost, i.e. driving at low RPM / low throttle usage).

My explanation sucks, others will chime in.
