How much power are you trying to make?? What turbo are you using?? If you use the cometic head gasket it will lower your compression. If you are doing 15psi with like a t25 its alot different than 15psi with a SC61

No need for a block guard. The stock sleeves are plenty strong, granted you have it tuned correctly. What fuel management are you going with?
As for the block itself, what you have listed is a good starting point. (minus the blockguard of course)

It was my understanding that a BTM does nothing to correct the timing issues with the AFC hack? But if you say it works...
