Default Turbo "required parts" listing

We all know there are certain things all turbo/f.i. cars should have, honda's especially. I run into this on a near daily basis, cars missing vital items that are either important for tuning, problem diagnosis, reliability or power. Some that I have come up with thus far:

93 octane gas (or highest available)
Colder, properly gapped plugs
Quality (OEM preferred) wires
Bead welded piping
Fuel pressure gauge (I can't stress this one enough)
Proper engine management (again, I can't stress this enough)

What sort of things would you add to this list?
