Default I'm joining the darkside! Any final tips before installation?

Finally! I'm gonna be boosted. I was wondering if any of you had any install tips. Like what should I put locktite on? Or any other thing you did to make it easier, or preventive type stuff. Also do I have to cut the fenderlining or remove my winshield washer fluid reservoir? Anyways, all I can say is I couldn't have come this far without the help from this board, so THANK YOU ALL!
By the way, my setup is :

Stock Y2K B18B (for now)
Revhard manifold
T3/T4E Turbo
Turbosmart Wastegate (7psi)
Maxrev BOV
Revhard Piping
Spearco Intercooler
Vortech FMU (until I learn how to use the EMS)
Warlboro Intank High Pressure Fuel Pump
And Stock Spark Plugs (one heatrange colder)

Pics to come!

if you are using the Tial wastegate, use red or blue locktite on the studs...I replaced the studs all together with bolt and used read locktite because it kept loosening and riding up.

other tips...
-take your time
-get a second car or a friend with a car to help you
-cleaning your engine bay before the insttall makes it a more pleasureable expirence
-Learn how to use that AEM asap!!...no substutue for a good stand alone!
